How are you celebrating the New Year?

I believe, or certainly in my circles that the New Year celebrations have moved on from booze fuelled parties and people hot footing in and out of each other's houses. Not that there was anything wrong with the latter but the millennium celebrations and venues wanting to charge customers a premium for entering put paid to a lot of the large celebrations. A lot of people stayed in that year and haven't gone out since.

I haven't gone out on a New Year's Eve since around 1997 when my youngest was born. The wife and I always have a nice meal on our own to celebrate New Year and that is what we will be doing again this year.

So what will you be doing this year?

Happy New Year to everyone.
 
A Happy New Year to you too, Alan; hope you have a lovely meal with the missus.

We are heading out to a friends’s in the village for a ‘pretend posh party’ where we have to be in suits, ladies in sparkly dresses. No idea why, but that’s the theme. So the old dj is making an appearance. It was last used 8 years ago; thankfully it still fits.

Happy New Year to all mooners both here and abroad.
 
Staying in. Have done for quite a few years now. A couple of quiet drinks is enough after nearly eating and drinking myself to death over Christmas + the pubs are either charging entry or full of ****s who can't control themselves.
 
There will be a few of us at a friend's house probably doing a bit of reminiscing over the people we've lost this year. It will be a good night though. Happy New Year to you all, here's to hopefully a successful 2024.
 
I'll be seeing the New Year in at home with Mrs WG, the kids and possibly the father in law depending on his fettle.

Some music on, buffet food on the table and no more than a couple of gentle drinks.

Tomorrow on the other hand I'll be out from lunch time until I drop in Ashington. New Years Day is still a massive thing there and the pubs and clubs are all heaving and there is still genuinely a community feeling. I love it. People sharing their platters of food with strangers, singing, dancing and merriment.

Ashington, like many of our local working towns is a bit of a throwback. It's not always a good thing, but when it comes to New Years Day, it's just like the old days and thats a fantastic thing.

All the best everyone ❤️
