Its new years eve, and if I'm honest, I don't really care that much. To me it is the 4th least worthwhile holiday, behind Valentine's Day (because I'm single), Thanksgiving (because I'm not American), Fireworks Night (because I don't like the bangs) and Pancake Day (because pancakes are underwhelming). I know that was 5 holidays but I forgot about Pancake day to start with. Anyway, the reason I don't value New Year's is because it doesn't actually commemorate anything special. The other holidays I listed have backgrounds and traditions that they celebrated for, New Year's is for no reason in particular, there is nothing exceptional about the transition from one day to another. It happens everyday and I don't understand why this one transition is celebrated simply for happening once every year. Don't get me wrong, I'm still going to go to a mates house tonight and get drunken, but that's just because I don't want to stay at home whilst all my friends (read as people who tolerate me) party without me.
Also a secondary reason I've just thought of as to why I'm not a big fan of the New Year's is the social networking aspect. I am definately not a fan of the status and tweets along the lines of ""lets hope 2012 can be good for me! Good bye 2011" or "Thank god 2011 is over #worstyearever". I just made those examples p, but I'm sure you'll all see the sort of thing I mean tomorrow.
Final point of the year from Alex'n'Paddy, thank you for reading our little blog .As a reward for your suport for this year here is a picture of Alex with icing on his teeth:
