    What if…. we just moved Christmas a little earlier… and we made new years on the winter solstice? The darkest day of the year. We would from each day onward, gain additional time of sun light each rise to set. Then the second half of the year on equinox would just be the true descend of the year as well. Up and Down. Jesus was born in the spring anyway who cares.

    It all started falling for me after 2016.
    I think 2016 was the best time for me. My childhood, along with tons of nostalgic things.

    Now I'm almost 17, and I already hate getting older.

    Celebrating new years or birthdays are making less and less sense.

    People were saying “Thank God 2020 is over” yet 2021 wasn’t any better in terms of covid 19. Things don’t just get better because of day change from 2022 to 2023.

    I prefer spending New Years Eve at home for various reasons;

    1) I can put on whatever music and songs that I like as opposed to going to a party and hearing some music that I don’t like.

    2) I normally put on a movie that I haven’t seen in years that I know I love and I turn it into a popcorn night.

    3) Unless you have a great vantage point for viewing fireworks (which you would have to spend hours and hours camping to reserve), I’d rather see it on TV if I wanted to as the camera gets good vantage points.

    4) I’m not fond of crowds, overly loud noises where you can barely hear the people around you or getting home on public transport late at night.

    You can have a good time staying home for New Years Eve if you save it as a night for you to do the things that you want to do at home.

    Forcing you to wake up to 12 midnight.
    Forcing you to eat when I already ate my dinner and…
    Fireworks and noise everwhere, like if there's a war, and it clearly pisses me off!
    I felt bad for the children, because every new year, their fingers are missing because of the firecrackers they held.

    The Christmas and New Year spirit died in 2009

    Yea you can hang those lights and decorations but you just dont feel it in your heart anymore

    I dont feel like decorating the Christmas tree either anymore.

    After 2020, that's where New Year's Eve holiday had died. And no doubt 2022 is going to be just as worse as 2021. Think of this as a social experiment. When we celebrate New Years Eve years turn bad, so if we stopped celebrating New Year's Eve maybe a good year will come to us. Either way of how this pandemic is handled especially the disappointment of today's president's Administration, the realistic fact is there's no hope for the future.
