I walked to the bar. Accepted a free pour of sparkling wine. Counted down to midnight. Sang Auld Lang Syne. Drank my free wine. Hugged some strangers. Threw $5 in the tip jar. Walked home watching fireworks.
It's a pretty fun holiday if you do it like me.
Nice city!
I just sit by the windows and watch the local illegal fireworks shows.
Always surprising to me that people still do this. It's always a scam and everyone goes home just slightly pissed off.
The last time I went to a bar on New Year Eve, I paid 20 bucks to get in, bought my first drink and started goofy dancing to a song that came on the radio. Then I got thrown out for being intoxicated.
The bar was playing radio music??
That’s actually a pretty funny story
Why I will never understand or relate to extroverts.
Seems like they spend a lot of excessive money being out & about doing all the things they do.
I stayed home, not by choice. Got the unwelcome xmas gift of covid.
Nah, going to a friends house with drinks I bought at the grocery store.
Now THAT'S the way to do it!!! :D
I’m drinking a mango margarita and eating spaghetti. This was not a wise combination choice, yet here I am.
Laughs in celebrating new year’s at home
There comes a certain age where if someone invites you to a New Year's Eve party you're just furious with them.
I think small party is fine. What I can't stand is counting down in a plaza.
I'm working this year, but the wife lucked out hard. She got invited to a house party, then today her friend called and said everyone except the two people hosting are sick, so it'd just be the three of em.
Staying home has been the way for me for years. I fucking hate overcrowded bars.
In my younger years I partied wild and even hosted parties with hundreds of guests (rented facilities).
Since my 40s I stay at home and go to bed at 10 pm latest.
I'm not 40 yet and I was in bed by 8PM. 😬
My wife and I threw a 40th birthday party for me and that’s it. That was nearly 5 years ago now and we’re probably never hosting a party ever again lmao.
Especially on Nye you're not missing anything but drama and disappointment

this is the worst comic ive ever seen. 3 frames are literally just the same drawing
Seriously, draw people getting into a place, draw them getting drinks, draw them waiting for Uber or some shit.
they can even have a :( face while looking at $$$ labels on the drinks. instead theyre just expressionless
It is a waste of a comic format. Would have been better as just text.
true. not only is it the same drawing, it adds nothing, not even once 😭
I took that as being part of the point.
My admittedly boring method:
-
stay home
-
do stuff, maybe video games
-
go to sleep whenever I feel like it
-
wake up at the normal time
I've found that, at least for me, I need to do social things, amazing things, and ceremony around it is also fine. Otherwise, I lose track of time and dark thoughts happen.
I encourage all to celebrate holidays or special events as much as you can, while you can. Every morning you wake up and can see and hear and smell and taste and feel and think. And if you're short somewhere in that list, you probably already understand what I'm talking about. Life is short and a lot of people want yours to be shitty. Don't let them win.
That being said, if you like playing videogames, don't let the people who don't appreciate that to make you feel like that isn't quality time.
I used to stay up when I was younger just to witness the year changing, but now I'm old and just go to bed. It will be there in the morning.

I made a tasty blueberry lavender cake, leek gratin with homemade bread and watched the stranger things finale. Ideally I’d go to sleep now but goddamn fireworks are scaring my dog.
Staying at home myself, but I think the trick is to enjoy the moments between those frames.
If you don't enjoy the moments in those frames, don't go to some overcrowded place. There are no moments in between.
A lot of people enjoy it. I can't understand them, so I stick to small crowds.

Yeah nah, imma be asleep 😴
Hey introverts, if it's just some friends getting together, go hang out with them. You're not "an introvert" you're introverted, you're out of shape. Flex those muscles a little and force yourself to rebuild community.
Community is what will save our future more than any amount of posting or tweeting or advocacy about whatever this week's social issue is. Stop wearing your labels and excuses like a shield to keep yourself from doing the hard things.
No, shut up. I don't want to hear it. Do or do not, there is no try.
I'm so glad that my partner and I just stay in and enjoy each other's company with some drinks. Going out on NYE is absolutely god awful.
Despite all the awfulness, it can be kinda nice to be amongst a lot of humans celebrating something.
I mean, I'm not doing it, but it's not all bad.
The comic artist struggled to make more than one drawing
Have always stayed home, away from the drunk drivers. Will continue to do so.
I accidentally taught my 4 year old flip cup.
They had a "noon-years eve" party which celebrated the new year at noon... then the adults went a step further
