Do you still stay up til Midnight on New Year’s Eve?

While reading Howie Carr’s blog, I saw a daily poll question on their sidebar.
“Do you still stay up til Midnight on New Year’s Eve?”
Well? Do you?

Myself, if i’m up, I’m up. But I’m not purposely trying to stay awake for it, unless I’m at a New Year’s Eve party.
Eh. Maybe not even then.

  1. I did last year just to walk the Las Vegas Strip unmasked.
    The assholes were trying to mandate masks outdoors and I was daring some fuckstick to say something.
    Nobody did and half the folks were unmasked anyway.

    Rumor is I may have had libations and been inebriated…but I cannot confirm…

  2. Haven’t cared about New Years since I quit drinking decades ago. Same shot, new year, just gonna screw up writing dates on things for abput a month but other than that, nothing really changes.

    Also, they’ve made even the simple “ball drop” ceremony such a miserably woke political statement that they managed to even suck the tiny bit of excitement you could get from watching an artificial clock wind down and just turned it into another damn Democrat soap box 6o push their Communism from, because Democrats HAVE to politicize EVERYTHING, so I’ll just take a pass on having faggots and POCs hate my race and gender at midnight and catch up on my sleep instead, which I can do this year since I left my PERSONAL Democrat-ruined old shithole behind and moved to the country where the only shooting is at deer and coyotes, and hopefully soon to be Democrats as well…

  3. I try to watch the New Years at the Needle every year. Mind you with the sound OFF until they start the fireworks. The TV anchors and the crowd interviews are beyond cringe stupid.

    Our neighborhood shoots off fireworks and a few gunshots are in the mix. I stay up but Mr Illustr8r usually is asleep on the couch.

  4. I stayed up last year, not to welcome 2021,but to burn the 2020 calender and perform a Druidic ceremony to purge everything from 2020 from America. I’m thinking I danced a few steps wrong, maybe got some incantations wrong, dammifino, but this year I still plan on staying up and burning the 2021 calendar, but I’m not gonna get fancy with trying to influence the future.
    I will continue to offer my support for Brandon.

    Let’s Go ,Brandon!!

  5. dot for decades.

    in ’67 while playing cribbage at Way (spelled Hue)in the NCO tent , and drinking “Boilermakers” at ~ 2100 it was “15-2, 15 -4, this jarhead cant see not more”!
    New years had a head as big as a 4by. Dug the biggest trench in Way.
    month later when the Bear Cats started bombing i had very many new feiends!

  6. Used to when I lived in Minnesota. New Year’s Eve was my Christmas with my buddies. We waited for the ball to drop then we ended the party.

    My sisters and I watch a movie and about 9pm, they poop out and I go in my room to read.

    Yeah, boring life!

  7. Our town has the boot drop at 10 and 12…….mainly because one side of our historic downtown square is mostly bars.

    Famblys and ol people…also locals watch it at 10 and skedaddle before…as mentioned above, amateur hour begins.

  8. Being a night owl, I’m always up at midnight. Being a happy bachelor makes it nice on New Year’s Eve, I can fire up a fat stogie, nip some good moonshine & play some Call Of Duty. Yes, I’m 51 & still play video games! Keeps me young!

  9. @MMinWA – I’m another early riser, 4am here. Retired, so it is a personal preference to enjoy morning coffee and usually read for a couple of quiet hours before dawn. My wife decorates at a Hallmark level, so this time of year is especially magical. On cold mornings, I start a fire in the woodburning stove while the coffee is brewing. The two Vizslas come in from making their morning rounds and curl up on day beds in front of the fire. Timers light the indoor decorations at 5am. This year especially, and I have spent a lot of quiet time remembering past Christmases and long-gone family members. Rejuvenating.

  10. I can’t say I ever gave a shit about NYs. Most nights I’m abed by 11:30 unless I’m on the ‘phone with Crackerbaby.

    To-night I repaired my Gillette 109 before I drank away my motor skills… I’m pretty happy about that. The 45 year old razor needed some help.

  11. I’d rather jab a sharp stick in my eyeball.

    That and the fact that I wake up at 0500am whether I go to bed at 0900pm or 0400am puts a damper on things for the following day.

  12. I was a gov’t worker who worked the Midnight Shift.
    I was never awake at Midnight! Wait. I mean I was always awake at Midnight … sorta …
    When you work Midnight, today is always tomorrow.

    izlamo delenda est …

  13. Nope. I usually finish my last glass of bubbly about 10 pm and it’s
    over as far as I’m concerned.

    As far as watching 2 faggies on TV kissing when the ball drops – forget it.

  14. Definitely awake New Year’s Eve at midnight. The moment a year changes to the next may seem uneventful, but every year is very unique. Just feel like I need to be awake to experience the beginning of a new year.

    Plus, I’m so thankful to God I get another year. The days are not promised – (The Holy Bible, KJV James 4:13-14.) It’s by His love, mercy, and grace I have a new year.

    I’ll watch fireworks on tv and in the neighborhood, change wall calenders and call or text family to celebrate a new year.
