Where did you say this?
On-Topic: New Year's was boring this year. Everyone in my house but me went to bed at 10. I stayed up all night.
I said it here:
To me, it really has no great significance other than parties.
I wasn't saying that I think its only purpose in general is parties, I was saying that it only means attending parties for me, personally.
@ on topic part:
That's how my New Year's was last year. My mom stayed up with me and then went to sleep right after, I stayed up a little longer watching TV. No one in my family was throwing a party, and all of my friends that usually threw parties were either on vacation or with family and whatnot.
