Getting dressed up to the nines and off to friends for dinner, cocktails and fizz. With a couple of rounds of cards against humanity, no doubt lots of laughing and lots of dancing.

Love that game!

We are going to friends who live close by. Nice meal, few drinks and then play cards for plastic tokens but still competitive. We have done the same for several years.

We will see in the New Year with them, watch the fireworks on tv and be glad we are warm and dry! Home soon after 12.30 usually.

Very similar to us but not quite so dressed up.

We haven't been out for NYE for a good few years. Last time we went out, kids stayed over at my Mom's the night. We were at the local club, but got bored and came home at 11.30!

As per usual we will stay in, watch some old crap on TV and have a drinkie, that's if I manage to stay awake, lol!

I'm going to get drunk and hope to be in bed before all the new year falseness begins.

Go to our local pub at 7. Home at 8.30 ish. Friends always want us to stay on to the death, sorry the Bells. hMPPH.

They don't even know we have gone home most of the time!!

Then we cabbage in front of Jules H and a couple of nice drinkies.

Why the sudden obsession with this 'cards against humanity' game? I never even heard of it til a few days ago, and I have heard dozens of people going on about it since!

What is it? All I heard was that it was racist and mean and cruel.

Not saying it is; only that a woman who played it said it was.

NYE by the way; neighbour's party. 30-40 people due to be there. Should be fun.

Also, why has everyone started using the word 'drinkie?' You know it's not a word right??? :rotfl:

This is an interesting thread as it's something I wonder about every year around this time. Sometimes it feels like everyone's going to the party of a lifetime every New Years Eve, or at least, doing something special, and it's odd if you're not.

When I was younger I always went to a club. Got bored with that so my partner and I decided we'd go out for a meal and then to the cinema, expecting others might be doing the same. They weren't! The cinema was like a ghost town. It was literally just us and one other person. It didn't bother us but it got me wondering what everyone does on New Years Eve.

Most people I know aren't doing anything much. Maybe a bottle of wine or a takeaway meal. Others couldn't care less about it. I just look forward to a nice dinner on New Year's Day.

I am not really bothered about going out to a New Years Eve party and I almost always come down with a cold after a large gathering. We have been to only one Christmas party this year - due to me being ill earlier in December, and that is enough. We have our baby granddaughter staying over the night before New Year's eve so we will be catching up on sleep which is fine by me.
