What does the New Year mean to you?

Personally, I like to have a quiet night and reflect on the year. I tend not to set any resolutions or do anything too special, seeing NYE as just another day for the most part, but I do like to reflect.

What do you like to do? :)

    @Mike That sounds like a really nice way to spend New Years Eve!

    I often stay in as well, and tend not to make any resolutions. I feel like the whole resolution part of NYE is just putting a lot of pressure on yourself, when in reality, you're doing the best you can and that's pretty amazing in itself. :)

    I don't really do anything for new year. Just stay up for the bells

    For quite a while now, we have gone away with a small group of friends to an airbnb, tends to be fairly remote places and cook a big meal and go on walks. Has always been really chilled and a good way of catching up with friends who live far apart.

    I am also big on the no resolutions bandwaggon. There is so much pressure around the 'new year, new me' mantra and so much of that is used to sell things to people. I'm all for goal setting and having time to reflect on things, but I think it is important to remove the pressure of a certain time of year. Do it when it feels right for you, not when society is telling you.

    I like to spend time with my close ones in the house and reflect on the year with gratitude and thankful for opportunities, meeting new people and learning new things. Im usually in front of the TV with my little glass of prosecco and counting down watching the fireworks on TV.

    for 2022 i will be going out to celebrate which is different for me but i like to change it up every once it in a while!! :)<3

    I just stay awake to be able to write a post on 31st December at about 11:30pm and then be able to edit it at midnight on New Years Day and claim I edited a post a year later. :p

    What a great thread! I love everyone's responses :)

    For me, New Year's eve means setting new goals, eating party food, spending time with family, reflecting on the last year, and looking ahead to the next year <3
