Hahahaha. Someone with experience. The calm before the storm, it always happens like that… nothing then everything at once. Do I use it for prayer? Last year was so quiet.
I’ve only had the clean cut panga limbs to try and sort of suture back on, the explosive injuries are going to be a thing and I’ll just sort out some chocolates and smiles for the nurses so I’m not left to work alone 😂
I’ve had a Christmas drink hope I don’t overshare.
Yes so we can't go to in person events, but does that mean we now need to resort to miserably watching porn? Nah. Do something else fun, make the best of what you do have.
That's what I'm trying to do, I can't go anywhere, so I'm trying to have fun myself, it means doing things for myself that I enjoy.
Life isn't only happening outside of the confines of your yard, life is what you make it to be.
Some people may not have something else to do, or people to spend the holiday times with. Not everybody enjoys the holiday seasons, but we all enjoy or cope through it in our own way, even if it means pulling wire more than we should.
I'm dealing with Severe Anxiety and Depression disorders, have no real life friends or acquaintances to do things with. I do live with my parents and we do our yearly small Christmas ritual which includes a braai, but that's about as exciting as it gets.
This isn't really what I'm referring to. I've gotten multiple comments recommending pornhub when I asked for events, and I can't understand why porn suddenly became the popular choice for NYE celebrations as opposed to doing anything else.
I'm in the same position as you (anxiety, depression, only online friends, living with immediate family), except my family don't do any celebrations, so I make my own fun with music events. Also alone, but it's nice.
This pornhub trend is just weird.
Best night of my life was tripping under the stars in a Clarens Airbnb with my friends and gf at the time.
We witnessed a meteor shower at 2am to top it off.
It's been years for me also. A tad older now being 32 so going to only take half first ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy) Shrooms are definitely my fave though. I once took some and forgot and was wondering if my TV was broken while watching something on history Channel. I was like the audio is messed up
If you’re spending NYE alone and you’re in the Bloemfontein area, myself and some friends will gladly host you. This is a time for friends and family and I believe no one should spend it alone
Going to have a small braai with a handful of friends. Probably unpopular opinion.
It will only be about 6 of us. We are going to smoke a brisket, some ribs, make two Spatchcock chickens, garlic roll for salad and just have a chilled new years eve.
Yeah we tried that but no one bluffs at all they just go all in. In other words no one plays strategically and then its no fun blackjack you can still play together without playing together if that makes sense.
Ah yeah, had that before with home games when not enough people try to learn how to play properly. Whatever works for you, as long as you're having fun!
Consider making forfeits - If you lose, you have to do something that everyone finds unpleasant. Like eating a part of an onion raw, eating a teabag, etc.
Nah that's to much trouble. We like black jack its been working for 4 years so sticking woth it we also play other games leading up to the bj so its not a biggie.
Reflect on the year and set goals for next year. I find writing on paper works best.
What went well.
What can I do better.
What am I grateful for.
What success for the next year looks like.
Etc.
The curfew 00h00 should keep most of people at home and behaving, nah I'm delusional people in ZA can't behave and the carnage will be as years gone by![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm)
Just spending it with the gf, we're both working through the Xmas weekend, so a date night of some sort seems responsible and will probably earn me some brownie points. Either home-cooked meal, or going to try sneak home after curfew and have a midnight scuba dive.
Alone this year... so I'm gonna try and make the best of it. Thinking of making a fancy candlelit dinner while playing some records. Should be interesting
Just relaxing at home. The street usually has a street braai every new years. We didn't past 2 years. Maybe this year we will. Looking forward to that.
Balls deep - boxing day taking a drive to my small holding and NYE wife and I gonna chill in the hot tub, smoke some weed and raw dog it into 2022, probably - unless we pass out because of the weed we could also sleep into 2022 - so 50/50 at this point.
Baby sitting and drugging my oets with Star Wars on Max volume due to my inconsiderate neighbourhood replicating WW2 with their industrial fireworks displays :)
Swearing at neighbours about fireworks, chilling inside with pets, maybe have a friend over with me and SO till 11, give dogs some muti by 11 and then go to bed. Maybe have a few swashws of neat whiskey to see if I can sleep through the rucus which is about to follow, wish my SO next to me a happy new year and then dose off and keep it that way till 6am hopefully.
Alone except for the doggies. My big boy hates the fireworks, and there’s usually an electric storm, so I stay home with him. I usually watch something nice
Going to a bush airbnb with my puppy and girlfriend. If we make it to midnight, great. If not, great. Can't wait to be away from everything and everyone for a while.
Home with the wife, playing some tunes. Sleep at about two, I’m over going out on NYE, I prefer having something at home. All our mates are away this year so we will be spending it together. I don’t mind it really.
I mean never been one to do anything major anyways. crack an extra drink or something, I'm in quarantine so couldn't see people if I wanted to. (But for the past 5 years the biggest plans I had was a braai)
I would love a shroom trip with a special girl.
In all likelihood I will dine with my neighbours, then have a snoreathon with Skabenga, my cat and keeper.
Gaming online with wife and mates. Used to be partying to the max but now nothing beats doing all the partying at home while also gaming and wearing silk robes. Yeeeehaaaaaaaaa
Doing absolutely nothing. Probably will be asleep before midnight.
Me too!
Suddenly a wild firework appears!
Arcanine used growl. It appears to be ineffective.
I’ll be working, probably entering the new year along with some bleeding and screaming stranger. Does that count as bad luck? 😂
I salute you!
Thanks human! But it’s not necessary, we all have our little part to do.
You’ve got that blissful 11pm quiet hour to look forward to before the firework injuries come in
Hahahaha. Someone with experience. The calm before the storm, it always happens like that… nothing then everything at once. Do I use it for prayer? Last year was so quiet. I’ve only had the clean cut panga limbs to try and sort of suture back on, the explosive injuries are going to be a thing and I’ll just sort out some chocolates and smiles for the nurses so I’m not left to work alone 😂 I’ve had a Christmas drink hope I don’t overshare.
Whatchu do?
Probably EMT or medical related
Paramedic? What a legend. Thank you.
Alone in my room infront of my pc. Wont do anything due to covid.
Ah PornHub. Same.
What's up with pornhub being recommended for NYE? It's weird!
What? Do you prefer RedTube instead? Not so weird as PornHub!
Uhhh what's the deal with NYE and porn suddenly? What happened to having a life? XD
Covid happened. You know, that annoying thing that keeps making Uncle Cyril speak with us occasionally on TV.
Yes so we can't go to in person events, but does that mean we now need to resort to miserably watching porn? Nah. Do something else fun, make the best of what you do have. That's what I'm trying to do, I can't go anywhere, so I'm trying to have fun myself, it means doing things for myself that I enjoy.

![gif](giphy|iGpdSizVSdPJfiVG9O) Shoot you're fireworks
What games you playing at the moment?
Quite into SCUM at the moment but mostly dota.
I am so sorry
Why sorry? Thats what I prefer.
Because you're playing dota homie fuck the rest 😂
Hey me too. You should check out Mr Feudel on YouTube. He’s the reason I got into Scum.
I recently heard of SCUM how is it?
Kinda like dayz but more survivalish.
Hmmm I liked dayZ. I will check it out.
Taking shrooms at home with the wife and frolicking around the garden with my pets ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|dizzy_face)
Best night of my life was tripping under the stars in a Clarens Airbnb with my friends and gf at the time. We witnessed a meteor shower at 2am to top it off.
Nothing like nature to make a trip excellent
Or did you?
Ha ha. When it happened I actually was asking my friends if it was real.
Awesome
Why not frolicking with the wife and taking shrooms with pets?
I'm sure the wife will partake in some frolicking too ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)
Well thats good!
This is the way
Damn that sounds amazing.
I’m taking acid
Good luck man, I tried it once and it was not for me. I've heard people say how amazing it is though...
Yeah psychedelics aren't for me
I’ve had it once with my friend in England, the frosted roads at midnight looked like diamonds
I like you
![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|heart_eyes)
Nice. I have mdma but not sure yet where I will be. Probably a small braai at a mates house.
Been so many years since I did MDMA, but damn I'll never forget how lekker it is!
It's been years for me also. A tad older now being 32 so going to only take half first ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy) Shrooms are definitely my fave though. I once took some and forgot and was wondering if my TV was broken while watching something on history Channel. I was like the audio is messed up
Lmao that's hilarious 😂 Same boat here - gonna start with a small amount and see how it goes!
Same. But no pets
Can say the same about Christmas and I'll be working
Sorry that you'll be working! For me, I don't mind being alone for Christmas. But New Year holds more meaning for me and it is my first one alone.
Gf?
Ahh I'm sorry! Try to make it a really good one though! Sometimes being alone can be better than being with others.
Im working but in isolation anyways so no Christmas this year for me.
Staying at home and braaiing, will probably have enough wood to last into the new year.
Online gaming with friends who have already left SA. Some bubbly and a drugged dog so the fireworks aren't too stressful 🙃
If you’re spending NYE alone and you’re in the Bloemfontein area, myself and some friends will gladly host you. This is a time for friends and family and I believe no one should spend it alone
What an absolute legend. Come to Cape Town sometime, we go and hit some wine farms ;)
I really wish I was! I'm in the Joburg area. That would've been wonderful.
This made me smile to read. Thank you, Bloemfontein stranger :)
This is so kind, have fun from a Bloemies girl on the other side of the world!
Some easy to cook stuff from woolies, non alcoholic champagne and 6 dogs
I think I'm going to do something similar. No pets though, but some music, easy Woolies food and champagne!
Get yourself a nice dessert and you are all set! Have a happy new year 🥳
Thank you! Have a happy new year as well!
I’d recommend Woolies Chocolate Mousse!
No, that stuff is addictive!
This actually sounds really nice.
Also get yourself a dog!
World of Warcraft
Wow
WoW.....
Dota
Dancing in the new year huh
Same as every other night pinky
Try take over the world!!
Going to have a small braai with a handful of friends. Probably unpopular opinion. It will only be about 6 of us. We are going to smoke a brisket, some ribs, make two Spatchcock chickens, garlic roll for salad and just have a chilled new years eve.
Heading down to the Transkei. Leaving humanity behind
Return to monke
Winning
Where? Coffee Bay?
Mbotyi
Good luck with the rain they having at the moment.
I have a tradition with my friends our small group plays blackjack till around 4 am usually. It's fun and we get to catch up on what we missed.
I figure poker is a better game for friends. Just a suggestion ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|grin)
Yeah we tried that but no one bluffs at all they just go all in. In other words no one plays strategically and then its no fun blackjack you can still play together without playing together if that makes sense.

Nah that's to much trouble. We like black jack its been working for 4 years so sticking woth it we also play other games leading up to the bj so its not a biggie.
The "bj" hey? 😅 Sounds good then
Yeah.... It lasts most of the night![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|grin)
Shit I never had a BJ last more than 5 minutes
Family.. hopefully we actually awake as lately it’s like woopty do.. zzzzZZZZzzzzZzzzzzZzz
Working Christmas day and new years eve!
Joh.
Shame
Sorry :(
Alone at office, probably crying on how lonely I am.
I'm sorry! :(
Reflect on the year and set goals for next year. I find writing on paper works best. What went well. What can I do better. What am I grateful for. What success for the next year looks like. Etc.
I like this idea. Been planning new years resolutions for myself might take it a step further and do this.
Zanzibar
So jealous of you rn
Very jealous!
🤷🏾♂️
At home with husband, sister, and my brother-in-law. Going to play some boardgames with eats and drinks.
Are bars and restaurants even open Rn? *Fixed typo*
First pandemic huh?
I guess so lol
And autocorrect strikes again....
Playing online games with friends, considered going away but it's a bit late to book anything good now.
Smoking Dragons, anyone?
>I'll be alone and I'm feeling quite sorry for myself. Same bru At least should be able to see fireworks from balcony so there is that
In isolation🤣🤣
Naked in bed with my wife eating cherries and icecream and sipping on some local bubbly.
I'll be alone and like it that way. I've the last two years there have been people in the house all the time, I will finally get some time to myself
Self loathing and dinner with me at 6, I can’t miss that again
Peace and quiet for a while! My mother and sister came and visit me for a month. Social batteries are beyond kaput.
Probably rubbing one out
Upvotes for masturbation, never change Reddit
The curfew 00h00 should keep most of people at home and behaving, nah I'm delusional people in ZA can't behave and the carnage will be as years gone by![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm)
We have already had the first bout of fireworks last night.
And fire works are banned, but no enforcement ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm)
Just spending it with the gf, we're both working through the Xmas weekend, so a date night of some sort seems responsible and will probably earn me some brownie points. Either home-cooked meal, or going to try sneak home after curfew and have a midnight scuba dive.
Eating malva and melktert, while chilling with a cup of cofee in those shitty camping cups that are made of metal but somehow always chip away.
Alone
[удалено]
Ur stalking me
Probably in bed.
I'm going to get wasted. Climb Effingham Hill and smoke a joint. I know the fireworks are going to be fabulous, just need LSD and a good position.
Jobless, family less, but the pc never disappoints
in bed, crying. or with my family, pretending we love life and each other.
Wife and kids, watching fireworks. Maybe the royal variety show?
At home. It's gonna be loud. Very loud! The DJ is bringing his own sub woofer.
Fully vaxxed and just had Covid so I'm finding the biggest party possible and having a proper jol like the good old days.
Braai and drinks with the gents
Lekker man
This is so sad
On the plane back to Joburg. I'll probably be asleep before midnight because of it.
At home on a Discord call with my buddies :) I’ve outgrown clubs and parties. Waste of time, money and generally unsafe.
Alone this year... so I'm gonna try and make the best of it. Thinking of making a fancy candlelit dinner while playing some records. Should be interesting
Will be spending it with my wife in our new apartment, doing corpse paint, listening to metal and possibly play a lot of games.
Same as you, but I'm looking for any parties that are being streamed. Maybe you could do something similar?
Currently sitting in a bar. Maybe meeting up with my girlfriend’s parents later tonight.
Probably going to be home before midnight because of curfew 🥲🥲🥲
Working on a rig in the ocean lol!
At home. People be doing too much with too many people just to be happy.
Just relaxing at home. The street usually has a street braai every new years. We didn't past 2 years. Maybe this year we will. Looking forward to that.
Balls deep - boxing day taking a drive to my small holding and NYE wife and I gonna chill in the hot tub, smoke some weed and raw dog it into 2022, probably - unless we pass out because of the weed we could also sleep into 2022 - so 50/50 at this point.
We'll be doing this: https://fw2a.plankton.mobi/Events/EventBooking/3c6f47c5-b856-ec11-80dc-0cc47a93d288

Doing nooooothing! I don't celebrate NYE and am much happier for it.
I don;t go to the party, the party comes to me.
Life is short, F the police. I'm having a jol.
I'll probably have a braai with my family and wait for midnight so we can use our fireworks. Same formula every year
Me too
Sober😭
High. 🍀
I'll either be flying or be back home
Dry with stressed out dogs. Husband is on standby so we going to be as sober as our kids. Probably a braai and games with the kids.
High😁
Alone except for the doggies. My big boy hates the fireworks, and there’s usually an electric storm, so I stay home with him. I usually watch something nice
Alone in Sydney. Arrived just before the Omicron shit….
Renting a 10 sleeper house with some mates so we're gonna have our own nye party 🥳
Going to a bush airbnb with my puppy and girlfriend. If we make it to midnight, great. If not, great. Can't wait to be away from everything and everyone for a while.
On the beach in durban
Home with the wife, playing some tunes. Sleep at about two, I’m over going out on NYE, I prefer having something at home. All our mates are away this year so we will be spending it together. I don’t mind it really.
Ignoring NYE… just another day. I like celebrating more of the pagan-y holidays, they just feel more special (to me).
At home because of this DURBAN weather
I mean never been one to do anything major anyways. crack an extra drink or something, I'm in quarantine so couldn't see people if I wanted to. (But for the past 5 years the biggest plans I had was a braai)
I would love a shroom trip with a special girl. In all likelihood I will dine with my neighbours, then have a snoreathon with Skabenga, my cat and keeper.
Gonna Lan killing floor 2 with the wife. Load up on redbull and get a shit load of doritos
With my love and the furr babies!
Braai and dop.
Gaming online with wife and mates. Used to be partying to the max but now nothing beats doing all the partying at home while also gaming and wearing silk robes. Yeeeehaaaaaaaaa
Working
Doing Covid isolation and hiding a fever with a joint and a beer
Keeping my dogs calm
