As it is almost time, have you planned it?
Would you rather celebrate the New Year alone with your partner at home or celebrate outside with a large group of people?

Superb Opinion
I don't generally care for large crowded venues like clubs full of loud idiots. But I've enjoyed a few large events.
I've taken girlfriends to the New Years Eve galas at the Queen Mary. The music was good, the surroundings were opulent, people were dressed up, and it seemed kind of magical, almost like reliving history, to dance in the ballroom and enjoy tasty drinks.
I've celebrated New Years Eve at restaurants with my lady. One time, the restaurant was very elegant and there was a violinist in a tux going from table to table taking requests for songs.
My wife and I have spent some New Years Eves cozy at home. That can be nice.
For over ten years, a couple we know used to have a karaoke party at their home with about a dozen friends. The food, drink and company was wonderful. Those people bought into the covid hysteria, though, and the gatherings ceased in 2020. But those parties were really fun. And I think that's my favorite kind of celebration, having great food and drink, not spending too much money, and ringing in the New Year with an intimate group of friends.

New year, and all the fuss around that event, was for my wife and I an annoying period to go through, because of all the random violence everywhere around us. We often just had a dinner with only the both of us, or with some friends, and waited till the storm was over. Since I'm widower, I just stay home with my cats, who every year get terribly scared because of the bombs and fireworks.
When I was young still, New Year meant family gatherings, often nice and welcome.
If it was a normal year, I wouldn't have a problem celebrating just with my partner at home. Most of my friends are in a relationship or married and do exactly that. This year is a bit different.
Next week, we leave for my fiancé's home country to marry at the end of December. We are getting married on 31/12 (New Year's Eve). So, it will certainly not be an "alone" New Years. Our wedding is in the evening with a reception to follow. We will then ring in the new year with all the family and friends that are attending the wedding.
I cannot think of a better way of doing it this year. My family and extended family, along with a group of friends will make the journey to Australia to attend. So, I will have lots of family and friends (and new family!) to celebrate not only our marriage but the start of a new year.
I think that years after this will just be the two of us since it will be not only New Years Eve but also our anniversary each year. It makes it extra special in my opinion considering we get to start a new year with celebrating our marriage together. 🙂

I'm not really fond of large gatherings tbh.. never have been because I prefer my own solitude and I'm not a big social butterfly. I'm probably just gonna chill at home and video chat with my boyfriend while he's in his home state with his family, and watch movies that day with apple cider lol.

I would rather not celebrate it at all. It just another day.

Celebrate with a partner.
-
I can do either or. I suppose I'd PREFER it be with the family but, after the yelling and noise at midnight, nothing happens. Withing the hour, they all go to bed.
On the other hand, my band always tried to make it a point to have a gig that night and, as we were nearly always the headliner, we started playing just about midnight! -
I rather be at home with my partner with some food & drinks listening to music, recapping the good, bad, & funny times we made together this year. Laugh all night. Kiss at 12:00 am. tell eachother how glad we are that we made it into a new year together in. then stumble in the room from all the liquor we drunk, have the best new year sex & pass out..

Large group. Not going to go que up at a night club to pay ofor over priced tickets, be packed in like sardines and spend the night lining up to buy overpriced drinks. Really on new years you just need a big enough space, 30-40 people, a sound system and drinks. I live in London so you can hear big Ben and see the fireworks.
-
I prefer outside with a small group of pepole, I dont like it when its such q huge group everyone becoume kind of white noise
If not will prefer just at home, enjoying the time to work on some side projects -
I't just a cycle around the sun from an arbitrary time. You could really pick any time to celebrate it. At the bar and having a few drinks with friends... Happy New Year, we made it around the sun again.

I like to party at home with a few friends , I feel safer that way and I love my bed , When I was younger I loved the big groups of people and at times I still do on occasion but as you get older you get wiser lol
-
It’s cold outside this time of year. I’ll have none of that. Thanks very much!
A small gathering of friends, playing games or watching movies or whatever. Don’t really even care about the countdown or the ball drop; just my people. -
It's called National Hangover Day. It was fun in the day. Politics did not parlay. You could get smashed or not. We had fun simply because we could watch all Late Night hosts doing it to it. Now we can't.
-
I have for a number of years if not working generally spent it alone. I've even got out of some invites by pretending to have previously accepted another. Only do this If you know those people won't meet
-
Hopefully with weather permitting we will be having our usual house/garden party consisting of family, friends and neighbours. 🤞
-
Celebrate with partner. I don’t do large groups, another option would have immediate family and friends. No more than 5 or 6 people.
-
Alone, with my son, same as last year. I'll probably celebrate it with a bottle of wine but none of my friends will be with me to celebrate.
-
I don’t mind celebrating at home w/ my boyfriend, but as this year I'm single, I’ll be going out w/ the girls!
-
I’d rather celebrate while out having drinks with the people closest to me, whether that be a partner, family or close friends.
-
Before we had kids and I could go out anywhere I wanted, I only wanted to stay at home on new years but now that we have kids and nobody wants to watch all of them on new years, I really want to go out.
-
I'll be on a 17hr flight on new year 🙃 and I'm traveling solo.
-
It comes and goes, my mood changes. This year I'd probably rather go out and spend it with friends.
