New Year's Eve: 3, 2, 1... Meh.
The winter holiday season is coming to a close. While it’s been well documented that I’m a #ThanksgivingGuy, and you’d be hard pressed to find someone who isn’t a fan of Christmas, I think a lot of us can agree that the holiday season’s “finale,” New Year’s Eve, Is the season’s low point. The time leading up to New Year’s Eve can be fun, but the meat of the holiday itself is only from about 11:30 at night until midnight. It’s the horse racing of holidays. It happens really fast and then when it’s over some people are elated, others are pissed, but most don’t really care. When the clock strikes 12:01, everyone looks at each other with a, “what should we do now?” look. Then you go home and go to bed. Good times. I don’t even like going out for New Year’s Eve (in fairness, I’m not really a big nightlife guy any time of the year). But Matt, you’ve got to experience New Year’s Eve in Times Square at least once. No I don’t. That looks like it couldn’t be less fun. ...
