Just wondered how people on here feel about joining their adult children on NYEve? Are you invited to their party or not? I feel a bit disappointed we haven’t been included in the celebration. We have just had Christmas together but are close to them and although I have been asked about food, drinks and outfits etc no inclusion which I feel a bit hurt about. We have spent a couple of NYEve together over the years but no invite this time and they know we are not doing anything. Maybe I am being over sensitive and will obviously not say anything as we get on so well.

I'm with Maw!
DD has friends to stay at NY . They are rural. They have a bonfire and no I have not been invited.
Definitely for friends and neighbours.
There are fireworks in Edinburgh and a bonfire in Biggar.

Good grief,no. I wouldn’t want them with my friends and I wouldn’t want to be round theirs. When they were under 16 we used to have big parties with everyone but as adults, nah, just wouldn’t mix thinking of their ghastly music choices, for one thing. .

I’ve always hated NYE too, even more so the past 20 years with dogs.
It’s at totally the wrong time of year too, New Year should logically, and quite literally naturally, be in the Spring.

For the first time in about 40 years I am going to a party at my daughter’s house. It is my granddaughter’s 18th birthday tomorrow. Family only, three generations. Lots of “ steps” too, good that we can all mix for the occasion. I hope I can stay awake.

I can’t cope with noisy crowded parties, the sensory overload makes me physically ill. Ironic really, as pre brain injury I used to be the one hosting the noisy crowded parties grin

No I wouldn't expect or want to go to our AC for New Years Eve. It is for the young who have more stamina!

Hello Blossoming smile
I get sensory overload too.
I went for years putting up with noisy clubs, gigs and parties.
Such a relief that I don’t have to do that anymore

My aunty is a very sociable sort with loads of friends.
Every NYE she goes to some fabulous party - but my up until her early 90’s my late Nan used to insist that she take her as well!

Fanny I am still recovering from hosting Christmas and spoiling the grandchildren! I think I will be in bed by 9!!

I am sad that Hogmanay is all about parties. I wish for quiet friendship at Hogmanay . If wishes were horses beggars would ride, so I make the most of Hogmanay by myself.
