I am probably alone in this. I don't blame anyone for having an amazing night out or for having a party at new year's. I don't mind that. It's great if you can! It's just new year's right from being a kid has seemed boring and depressing for me lol. My parents did drink and have a few people over as a child. It was fun playing with my cousin's. But I do remember trying to hide at midnight so Drunk adults didn't kiss me haha. I sometimes remember feeling super tired and wanting to go to sleep. As an adult I've not done the parties since 19/20. Due to work and then having my babies.

Also I don't know why but it gives me this feeling of the end in a negative way. The whole goodbye 2019. New starts. Yes people have bad years. But there's plenty of good things I don't want to shut the door on this year. If that makes sense. Then new year's Day just feels quiet and boring. Plus my partner's back at work on the 2nd of January. So it feels like it's also the end of our family time. It also is like a goodbye to christmas. Christmas went so fast this year. It was lovely and we've been in a state of late nights, junk food and lots of Tele. I have loved it. I don't want it to end lol.

I'm not a misery. I'm not bothered that people have fun. I just can't get into new year's and never have been able to x

I find it depressing also. I do normally stay up but I couldn’t be bothered. I’ve been very low these last few days stuck on my own with the kids as DH has been working very long hours. I hate this time of year.?

One of the very few occasions not made better by having kids. They usually want to do “something”. We also live in a country where NY is more celebrated than Christmas (supermarkets and most shops are open Christmas Day but closed NYE and NYD) so it’s hard to ignore. Onthis one night I think longingly if when I was 30, single and just treated myself to a new book, nice bottle of wine and cheese selection on NYE.

Just to say I went out for a meal and then to my local and had a lovely time. Just me and my OH. Stood outside at 12 to watch all the fireworks. Got home at 2. Nursing a hangover today. Back to work tomorrow. Looking forward to getting back to routine and looking forward to the new decade. Happy New Year everyone.
