not this year

I absolutely hate New Year's Eve. It's the biggest waste of time, everyone gets too drunk and -call me a pessimist if you like- there is no point celebrating something which, if you are considering your own personal year, has not correlation to anything good, wonderful or right. Unless you have plans to change something dramatic next year please leave me out of this ridiculous celebration of nothingness. Yet despite this, I love Christmas -but don't believe in Jesus- I suppose I'm a hypocrite because technically Christmas is purely the economy's celebration of unnecessary endulgence, but there is nothing better than seeing family. It's the perfect time for escapeism. New year's eve is just an excuse to get drunk.
