I have a married sister. She for the last lets say 20 years had spend the end of the year (Christmas and New Years) abroad (exception one year during COVID) never in the country with me or mom and other relatives. Even if my sister and her husband had spent New Years abroad each year, they never party for New Years, they spend the same New Years eve at the comfort of their hotel room and go to sleep early. But since my sister had never been with us during those days for more than 10yrs., me and my mom had to check which relative can receive us or invite us (knowing my sister is abroad) so we dont spend alone at home New Years Eve. My brother and you know how men are more independent, also sometimes he does not spend it with mom or me either.
My dad passed away almost 10 years ago. My mom is an elder woman and Im the one who takes care of her at the house alongside my brother. Anyway, this year for some unknown reason my sister , she and her husband did not travel overseas for Christmas and won't travel for New Years either, they change their trip until next February. So assuming this time my sister will be here and so far my mom and I do not have plans for New Years and also so far other relatives had not tell us anything yet (maybe is too early yet to tell us something of a plan, probably if other relatives tell us is maybe two days before the 31st), so I told my sister if she had any plans for the 31st and I even suggest her last week that why she does not organize something simple at her house for the 31st, nothing fancy, she told me so far she has not even think about it. Well today, she told me she does not plan to do anything, cause she does not like to go out on the 31st a and stay up late and it is cold and she does not want to get the flu, she will stay at home with the husband, the same way they both had celebrated New Years when they had been abroad in the past years (go to home early and cheers with a glass of wine, that
My brother won't be spending this year with us either he will travel to another city but in the country still. The relatives who always plan something so far had not told us anything yet But my sister had told me she does not like for mom to be o

She is not selfish at all. You know that she and her husband never celebrate New Year's Eve. Why would you think she would do anything different this year? You like to celebrate, which is fine, but please don't expect others to do what you do.
Other than the one time my wife and I were in Times Square for the ball drop, we never celebrate New Year's Eve. She goes to bed early, like she always does, and I stay up just long enough to watch the ball drop on TV.
Why would I think she would do something different? Because she is not in another country this time , that is why and she is finally in the country for the first time and she is close to mom and siblings that is why it makes it different, she is not abroad.
