Whether you like to go partying and clubbing with your friends or staying at home with a good book, New Year is the best time to celebrate life. It is a time of reflection, recollection, and appreciation. Many people also make resolutions regarding different regrets and ambitions. They vow to do better and different from the previous year. Others try to cherish the year by indulging in their favorite activities. Whatever you may be doing at New Year’s Eve, the main goal is to enjoy yourself. The future is at your fingertips if you celebrate every milestone. Here’s how to make this eve count.
Put Away the Phone
We spend most of our lives glued to our screens. TV, Computers, and phones are all giant temptations for the modern human. The world may be at our fingertips but we are losing sight of our surroundings. This New Year’s Eve put the phone away and switch it off. Curl up with a book, visit a friend or even take a nap. Devote this time to yourself. Social media also gives us deep envy for other people. Pluck that negativity out of your life. Cherish your abilities and strengths. Work on your weaknesses and you will observe a marked difference in yourself next year.
Make the Best of New Year Dinner
It is difficult to get reservations in restaurants and hotels on New Year’s Eve. Cooking the meal yourself is a daring option, especially if there is a party involved. But don’t sell yourself short and cook with your heart and soul. Stock up on ingredients so that there is no need for last-minute shopping expeditions. It is not advised to randomly show up at diners or restaurants and wait for a table. You will probably be looking forward to a long and cold miserable evening with no food.
The Time Square Conundrum
It is tempting to see the New Year Ball drops, countdowns, and fireworks at known tourist attractions. But in reality, it might not be worth it. There are usually hordes of people and no organization system whatsoever at these venues. The restroom and refreshment facilities are also non-existent. You might be alone and cold in a crowd of strangers. This is not festive at all. Don’t fall into the tourist trap and plan your New Year escapade smartly.
Cliché Celebrations
While we are on the topic of mainstream celebrations, there is another phenomenon. Throwing New Year parties can be extremely overrated. Throwing an extravaganza is tremendously hectic and laborious. If you don’t like the stress of party hosting and planning, attend another party thrown by a friend. Hop on a party bus or tag along for a bar-crawl. You can also be understated. Just invite close friends and family for an intimate hangout.
Try a Potluck
Bring a variety of tastes and spices to your tables with a potluck-style dinner. The dinner makes sure that the whole group is included in party planning and food preparations. The host can relax a bit and enjoy the auspicious evening with the rest of the crew.
The most important goal of New Year Celebrations is honoring the memories and gearing up for next year. De-stress and bring your best foot forward for 2020. Start the new decade with hope and concrete goals. Get more information about spending a perfect
