What is the fucking point?
About 5 years ago my wife and I stopped going out on New Years Eve. We just got sick of seeing people who don't normally drink in excess make total drunken fools of themselves. What stopped us was seeing a dear friend of ours, who had just been through a difficult divorce, have a total drunken melt down and ended up crying uncontrollably while lying on a bar room floor in a reeking puddle of her own vomit. May old aquaintence be forgot? I don't think so. Well, our decision to spend the evening at home is OUR decision. Is this normal? We just don't see the point of HAVING to go out, spend a ton of money we really don't have to celebrate the passing and the begining of another year.
