New Year’s Eve was a big deal in my 20s but now it’s just a night in that slaps the Christmas...

I'm just glad I'm far away from any firecracker madness...
If I were the Queen of Europe I would impose a huuuge tax on any firecracker (ten times the prices before tax).
And those you use illegal firecrackers would be sentenced to 1 year of forced labor in the swamp.

That is so true with me too. Over the years, New Years Eve has gradually gone from a big party to a signal of the return of busy commutes and working class life problems.

Our big celebrations were when we were in our 30's and our group of friends would go out together to celebrate. We usually went to one of our favorite honky-tonks for music and dancing. Now that we are retired, it's just another night, except that my wife tries to get me to stay up later.

I am retired so it's just another night to sleep. My wife and I haven't done or gone anywhere in years.

I remember only really ever enjoying a few of them. My best nights were at home getting drunk with my gran.

Kinda the same for me. It's not a big deal since all us fam aren't usually still together for it after Christmas so it's kinda just meh.

New Year’s Eve was a big deal in my 20s but now it’s just a night in that slaps the Christmas feeling out of you…
