i’ve spent it with my family & partner, it was nice!! we ate a lot and exchanged gifts (in my country it’s a tradition for new year to get gifts, especially for kids but for adults as well!!), very wholesome overall :3
as far as i’ve seen the new year celebrations are different in my country compared to the rest of the world. for us it’s often a big family holiday kinda like christmas or even thanksgiving is, i think? though some people prefer to just use it as an excuse to throw a big party and get drunk which is similar to other countries lol
sounds fun, what did u give n get?
tbh here it just depends on what u wanna do, its just as normal to celebrate w family as it is to have a party! i was never one for partying but my friends introduced me to it and now i really love it, like raving is so different from clubbing
we got my mom a roomba lol!! she was extremely happy bc the old one was, well, old, and got damaged when they got flooded

i also got my partner one of those wintery sweaters with deer and stuff!
as for myself, i received a lot of smaller gifts, mostly stuff i asked for but i'm honestly happy with that!! i got an adorable winter bear hat, earrings with little teeth (cute), also a cute sweater and a japanese book that's called "a dictionary of color combinations" (thank you talent for letting me know it exists). got some tea and sweets too!!
i am personally not the biggest fan of parties so i 100% prefer cozy family celebrations but i'm glad you had fun partying!!

aweee cute that she was happy w it 🙂↕️
