Here Are 5 Things You Can Do On The New Year’s Eve Instead Of Partying

New Year’s Eve is one of the days when you absolutely need to do something exceptional just to be accepted in the society. If the coolest wins the race, then this had to be the stage to compete on, because you’re as cool as the New Year’s Eve party you attend.

However, why do we end up forgetting that no two apples taste the same, just like no two people have the same taste in things? While one might find being a part of New Year’s Eve party the best way to celebrate the arrival of something new, the other one simply would love to unwind with a good book and a cozy blanket.

Some might even love to go for a walk on the D-day of the year and if you’re one of such people, not the usual party-poppers, then you’re at the right place. There’s more to New Year’s Eve than simply partying till you pass out, in fact, there are a ton of things that one can do. We have listed 5 of such things that you can indulge in, on this New Year’s and have some of the best and calming memories from the start of the year.

1. Organise A Cleaning Spree

If you can’t think of anything to do, then this would certainly be perfect. There’s nothing more calming than cleaning up your mess, with a brilliant album blasting in the backdrop. This way, you’ll not only get done with the mess around you but would also welcome New Year with clean and wide open arms of your life.

2. Organise A Board Game Night

Invite 4-5 of your closest mates and have one of those old-school board games night. We all have grown playing up these games, however, one just can’t indulge in them anymore, which is why planning a special night for them is an amazing idea. You can go for chess or monopoly or snakes and ladders or anything else. Turn the most happening night of the year into a trip down the nostalgia lane.

3. Have A Netflix Marathon Night

Bid adieu to the old year and say Hello to a new one, in a way that you love the most, by binging on some television series or going on a full-fledged movie marathon. Prepare a bunch of delicious snacks and a huge glass of wine and you’re good with the New Year’s Eve plan.

4. Go Stargazing

If you’re one of those dreamy kinds then gather 2-3 people and head for a stargazing session on the most happening night of the year. Trust us, this would create some of the most special memories for you, for many more New Year’s to come. Carry blankets, a snack basket complete with hot chocolate, and soft music. Just spending an evening, away from the noise, under the stars is a beautiful way of welcoming the New Year in.

5. Stay In Bed and Read a Book

This is perfect for every bibliophile out there for whom books matter more than any social gathering where one has to mingle with a bunch of strangers and indulge in some of the most awkward small talks. Snuggle up in your favourite blanket and turn on those fairy lights, this combination can easily transport you into a land of vivid dreams and silence.

So, yes, there’s a lot that one can do on New Year’s Eve without blacking out or party till the end.
