How Overrated Is New Year’s Eve?

BayMoWe335 · 12-31-2017, 07:24 PM

Best day ever or just another day overrated by people?

1MOREMOD · 12-31-2017, 07:24 PM

Best day ever

kscarrol · 12-31-2017, 07:25 PM

Overrated. Good excuse for a scotch and a cigar on a Sunday night!

M_Six · 12-31-2017, 07:30 PM

Had one really enjoyable NYE (mid-80's) at the castle in Nürnberg, Germany. The fireworks were amazing. No other NYE has ever been that awesome and for decades I've just sat at home and watched it on TV. Really no big deal to me.

I'm going out for the first time in years as a close friend just opened a new restaurant and I'm lending my support. I did NYC in the early 80's before the stupid rules were engaged. Nothing has beat that for me, yet!

Just another Sunday night

I like celebrating the New Years.....it's a chance for people to see the New Year as a time of renewal and chance to change themselves....and to party and let loose whatever that may be!
Be a better and more awesome version or yourself 2018!
Happy New Year All!

bucketfoot · 12-31-2017, 09:18 PM

Overrated, just like birthdays. It's nothing more than another day.

Just another excuse for people to act like idiots

RickFLM4 · 12-31-2017, 09:22 PM

Overrated. Maybe ok in the 80s and early 90s when I was younger but even then never cared much about it. Overpriced night out with many drunk drivers on the road.

CTinline-six · 12-31-2017, 09:38 PM

Depends who you are with. Most are just boring. Went to a new years party at a college dorm with a bunch of drunk sorority girls once... that was fun lol.

That sounds like the start to a Penthouse Forum letter.

Usually it's a good excuse for me to slam some beer and shots with friends but not this year with the flu

Have enough strength today to make sure my wife has fun.

Ever since 9/11 (could go further back) you're allowed to enter in the Times Square area and cannot leave the area that you enter. Plus it's way too crowded to even attempt. No booze allowed and security is nuts at least in 04 when I went. Saw people pissing on the side streets and a late 30s couple said they been coming for years wear adult diapers just in case. I thought it was cool but would never do it again.

upstatedoc · 01-01-2018, 11:24 AM

Someone had fun last night..

TrevorM3 · 01-01-2018, 12:43 PM

i think after the age of 12 most holidays are irrelevant. the concept of the holidays are nice, it's just not the same as an "adult"
