Maybe it's much too early in the game
Ah, but I thought I'd ask you just the same
W\hat are you doing New Year's, New Year's eve?
There's so much hype about New Year's Eve,🌟 there's so much pressure to party. To go dress up, go out and ring in the New Year in style. Although most people still try to make the night special, the evening rarely lives up to expectations. When we think of a New Year's party, we think of gold balloons, whistle blowers, fire works and big bashes. We think of people drinking too much, and going a little wild, doing things they'd never do on a regular Tuesday night.
Although I've spent many December 31st nights partying it up, lately, my celebrations are a little smaller. This year, it's a game night at my brother's home. I'll see my niece and her boyfriend, my nephew, and some of my brother's neighbours, most of whom I've met before. My brother's girlfriend is a nurse, and will be joining us when she gets off at midnight. I'm looking forward to it, especially the lobster we're having before the party. It may not be the 'fantasy' New Year's Eve we see in the media, but those nights are rarely as satisfying as we build them up to be.
The Fantasy:
The Fantasy: Lots of hot men, glittery fashions, confetti, balloons, champagne, fire works, fun and laughter and great music. We also think we'll stay up until at least 4a.m and have a euphoric of sex with a one night hook-up.
The Reality:
The Reality: Bad food, cheap wine, Nickelback and Hootie and the Blowfish playing on a loop, people on their phones and everyone leaving early. You're usually in bed about ten minutes after the clock strikes twelve. Finally, that one guy you find hot, ends up hooking up with your female bestie.
No matter what you're doing tonight, heading to a big party or spending time with family and friends. It really doesn't matter if you're just chilling at home, with a partner, friend or alone. You could be watching a movie, or reading a good book. If there's one piece of advice that work's for me.... It's to order Chinese or another food that brings you joy, watch or read something you know you'll enjoy. New Year's Eve is just another night, but one you want to not just get through, but to enjoy.
