Some are upset about dogs being scared of fireworks, others are upset because they can no longer hear church bells because of the noise. And of course all the fine dust that such a thing produces is tax money that such a thing costs! There are more than 1000 arguments against fireworks and only one in their favor: they are beautiful to look at.

Waiters will rightfully laugh at anyone who visits restaurants on New Year’s Eve. This evening’s menus are often elaborate, with the chef purchasing expensive ingredients per person and most guests often making reservations months in advance. People who go to a restaurant without a reservation like to describe themselves as spontaneous. Others say that they cannot decide anything in life and therefore prefer to take what is left. It’s the hot dog stand at the train station on New Year’s Eve.

On New Year’s Eve, you only have to resolve one thing: to do nothing else on New Year’s Eve. Because: If there was ever a bad time to want to eat less, drink less, and exercise more, January is it. A hot fondue, a nice glass of wine or a weekend in front of the TV are just some of the things that make this gray and cold month a little bearable. The only people who benefit from temporarily eating less and exercising more are gyms. Annual subscribers who stop coming after February are excellent customers.

If you show up to a glitzy Hollywood party in jeans and a ratty sweater, don’t take the dirty looks you get as a sign that everyone but you needs to calm down. No, people are mad at you for ruining their fun. Those who were most affected were those who showed up to a tasteless party wearing the clothes they always wore, and everyone deliberately congratulated them on their “terrible” outfits.

If you only drink champagne once a year, do it now. A bottle of Moët & Chandon costs around 40 francs. You can’t go wrong with this. Of course: there are high-quality Proseccos and Franciacortas; If you know what they are, you don’t need to explain anything to them anyway. But buying Prosecco for 7 francs 90 from the gas station is inappropriate on New Year’s Eve. Unless the new year’s motto is: Everything can get better from now on.

A popular program on New Year’s Eve: toasting with friends after dinner and going to the disco at midnight. The best DJs are booked, the decoration is amazing; Lots of black, lots of gold, lots of glitter. Anyone who pins their hopes on the party of the century, which everyone is secretly hosting, will be disappointed. Visitors come to the club so drunk that the mood barometer drops. Anyway, it’s overcast after the Christmas festivities. So what should you do? Staying at home is not the solution either.

New Year’s Eve in London: At 23:00, tourists head towards the River Thames to be on time for the fireworks display. Unfortunately, the riverbank is already so crowded that the police are blocking all access roads. You are very close to “Fireworks” but you see 0.0. Only the echo of fireworks echoes in the dark alley behind the barrier. The occasional flash of rockets can be seen in the narrow strip of sky above the canyon. Quick to the subway. A huge queue has already formed in front of the station. An employee wearing a fluorescent vest yells at people coming out and says you must wait at least two hours. I wish you had stayed at home!

Check-in: After New Year’s Eve dinner, the dinner party orders a taxi that will take them from the front door directly to the club. Fact: Taxis are fully booked, the company tries to catch a taxi on the street but ends up having to walk the whole way. When he arrives, there is a queue so long that the club’s entrance is no longer visible. So: wear a really warm jacket. Preferably something similar to a down sleeping bag. It’s not a pleasant sight to see someone waiting in line in front of you, shivering from the cold and barely holding his cigarette.

Missing the start of the new year – just the thought of it is depressing. You may be doing this out of anti-attitude and will symbolically separate yourself from the masses. Unfortunately, your punk attitude won’t impress anyone that night. If you’re unlucky, no one will even notice that you didn’t come to the party. The following applies: The moment when the second hand jumps to 12 must be consciously perceived. From where? It is anyway.

“Guets Neus!” There are those who say. Via SMS or Whatsapp message at 20.00 on the 31st. This is still better than not communicating with family members and friends you can’t toast in person. No matter how tired you are at midnight, no matter how big the dead zone you are in. A text of 10 to 20 characters that shows you are thinking of someone should be possible.
