NYE in PJs with the dogs is how I've spent every NYE in years. Get to watch the Sydney crackers on the TV, then hunt for a screening of it that my foreign friends can watch (this year the Telegraph put up the ABC feed on You Tube, top effort).
I'm rural so if I go anywhere, I can't drink as there's lots of police between anywhere and home, and watching those cracker displays I think about the horrendous business of getting home from those. Like the Israelites departure from Egypt. Nope, bugger that.
NYE is an arbitrary construct anyway. At 10pm they screened the crackers in Auckland, 2021 there, and my US friend are still at work or shopping or whatever. It's just somehting we've slapped over the top.
