How’s the New Year celebrated in your family or country? What traditions do you have?

    I will celebrate with my gf and her sisters and partners and kids. We’ll have some drinks, listen to some music, play some games and eat fried dough balls.

    Usually there is lots of fireworks in The Netherland, even with the government banning them. I’ve seen on the news that a person already died because he was messing around with fireworks and the firemen spent the entire night fighting fires caused by fireworks. To be honest I’d rather have a firework show done by professionals like we have in Belgium, but that goes against ‘muh Dutch freedoms’ so morons can throw around actual bombs all week long.

    There is also this list on the state radio called Top 2000 where you can vote on the best music that has ever been made. Normally I like it but this year it somehow pisses me off. Lots of rock and metal music and the livestream is filled with boomers in accountant outfits doing air guitars to the pinnacle of human made music, which coincidentally exists of mostly white people with guitars it seems.

    Anyway I sound a bit sour but I will have fun regardless.

        Yeah I usually like rock as well but something about it annoys me a bit this year. No idea why. It will probably become better as the evening unfolds lol.
