does this new years feel subdued to anyone else, even after taking the weather into account? (lemmy.world)

I've got plans for tomorrow, tides wait for nobody.

I kinda hope the whole idea of getting utterly plastered on new years is becoming old fashioned anyway.

Also I'm broke.

Not even the whole getting drunk thing - I've got 3 kids so that's been out for years. Just a general atmosphere of meh - not seeing many celebrations at homes or anything.

Possibly, yes. It's been a tough year for everyone I know, and a lot of people are just trying to get through the break without spending too much money.
