Greedy Jambo Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 I've never understood it, I mean, what are we actually celebrating? the fact that we've not been hit by a meteor? we're still alive? or are we just looking forward to going back to work and placing more Amazon orders?

Morgan Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Agreed. It’s the most pointless ‘celebration’ of the year. If it’s an excuse to drink yourself into oblivion, then that’s just all it is - an excuse. That particular trait can be carried out any night of the year.

mrmarkus1981_1 Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Although this year, it's the first time in a long while I'll be in the same place as my two sisters, my older brother and my mum at the same time, amongst others. Usually weddings or funerals, so that's a plus... Mibbe 👌 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In our house its a reset point and a chance to reflect. We do our annual finance report as we budget Jan -Dec so we see where we are vs where we thought we were and adjust our "one off expenses budget" based on if it was too high or too low. We set out our expected monthly costs and financial target and add in end of year balance as the new year starting point. Sounds boring but our mortgage will be done in less than 4 years and should be done by June. From there its debt free investing for the next 20 years.

Der Kaiser Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 (edited) There needs to be a defined cut off for wishing a Happy New Year. I go back to work on 8th and folk will still be wishing it. I might try and start a new superstition that it has to be said by 1pm on 2nd Jan otherwise you get bad luck....or a family member dies......that would stop a few folk. Of course to aid in bedding it in I will have to kill a few folk but I'm not one to shy away from a bit of graft.

Probably the fact Christmas was banned, so Scots moved everything to hogmanay and new year's day. Tho since Christmas has taken over the past 60 years, new year has began to take a back seat. Presbyterian feckwits banning Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
