If you do not like New Years Eve,why not?

[SoleBizzz]

Reminds me of being a billy no mates but thus year I have been invited out. Usually have no money or a sitter but my Son is coming too!

Because it's the most overrated night of the year.

So depressing

False joy

Just forget it's NYE and enjoy your wee self!

Tits who think its clever to let fireworks off til 3am....

Actually I dont mind it...if I have company that's nice, I'd not sod it. But the fireworks past midnight give me the rage !

Cos by midnight I'm tired, everything is packed and overpriced, then you have to battle your way home in the wee hours with lots of drunken idiots.

Queues for bars, queues for taxis.

Everybody pissed out of their minds and the ensuing fights/vomming.

Fake bonhomie.

Bars and restaurants selling tickets for the same old shite in the same old place.

Hate it. Haven’t been out on NYE for decades.

Because it's an anti climax.

Oh it's midnight. Happy new year.

Now what?

Everything is more expensive (which I totally get) but everywhere is packed so I never enjoy it and feel it isn't worth spending double the price. Also January is such a weird month in terms of post christmas blues. I am not bothered about new years.

Because, quite frankly, I can't be arsed

Anniversary of my mum’s death.

Thanks mum.

It's false and fake. There is too much pressure to have an amazing time and to keep going until midnight even if the party is shit and the company is dull. People make you do the Conga for crying out loud. No-one ever knows the words to Auld Lang Syne and mumbles their way through all but the first two lines, which is embarrassing. Then you have to kiss everyone in the room including sweaty, drunk men you don't know.

It's fucking awful. Babysitters are non-existent, cabs home cost more than my mortgage.

Everywhere is rammed everywhere is over priced.
Dont get me wrong I brought right into it when I was younger but now mid 30s it annoys me the fireworks ar midnight

I don’t like NYE out - queues, overpriced taxis, pressure to have ‘the best night ever’ , drunken idiots etc etc.

Every other year we go to my sister’s (5 hour drive so we go for a few nights). With her husband, adult children and their partners and a friend who often comes too there’s around 10 of us. We have a long walk with the dogs in the day then home for drinks and some amazing food as she’s an incredible cook. The in between years me and DP stay home and get some special food, few drinks and watch a film. I love both of those arrangements and so quite like NYE these days.

This year we’ll be on honeymoon in a cottage in Dorset. Probably do the exact same things, just in a cottage rather than at home

It's so overhyped and built up to be a huge thing when really it's a bit crap and boring. My mum used to babysit for us so we could go out but the last few years we have stayed home with the DC. We have a couple of low noise fireworks (sorry!) at around 6pm, eat take out pizza and ice cream, and play games together. Fake midnight countdown goes on at around 9pm for the little two, older two stay up until the proper countdown and then we're all in bed asleep before 1am. I do a big dinner on New Years Day, basically Christmas lunch part two, and both sets of parents come over for it so that's our bug end if the festive season celebration rather than NYE.

Big end of

Too hard to get home.

Exactly what Allideas said.

I've not been out for New Years for a long time though because of dc. New years TV is boring and I just want to go to bed but the dc insist you must stay up until midnight.

I will maybe be on my own this New Year's Eve because I'm working and the dc might have to have a sleepover at GPs. I'll probably enjoy a night in peace with no pressure.

The thought of being kissed at midnight . I happily stay home on NYE, sometimes I stay up, sometimes I don’t.

Because I am just too tired to stay up that late but there is a family gathering the rest of the household love so I smile and go along with it.

DH birthday is during the Christmas season. We are so done by NYE.

Because, quite frankly, I can't be arsed

🤣 this 👆
I like my sleep and don't like being woken up by relentless fireworks that seem to go on for hours. I don't get the excitement around NYE at all.

Going out is expensive, crowded and it's difficult to get home. Staying in you find that there is nothing to watch on TV except the excruciatingly awful hootenanny or some cheesy tribute band leading up to the chimes. Then you want to go to bed and everyone is setting off fireworks.

It's when the year goes up by one. No big deal.

Forced fun.

I can't be arsed either. But as I have happily embraced my can't-be-arsedness, I actually quite enjoy NYE. We either spend it with my dsis and her family or just us. Some board games, a film, bit of champagne and never stay up until midnight! No pressure, no expensive night out.
