Christmas Eve is exciting, New Year's Eve is exhausting and too emotional. There's too much pressure to go out on New Year's Eve anyway, on Christmas Eve you can just sit back with the family and watch a movie. Christmas Eve is peaceful, New Year's Eve is chaos with drunk people annoying everyone and vomiting everywhere. Give me Christmas Eve anyday.

I always loved New year's eve because that's when my friends and I got together and celebrated the coming of a new page in the story of our friendship. When I was a kid ( that was a long time ago) as the eldest of the family, it was upon me to ask father for his blessing and it was a very emotional time for my sisters and I because our parents were separated. We visited with my father's family in the morning, and with my mother's parents in the P.M... As for Christmas, I don't recall having had what everyone calls a "Merry Christmas". Dissfunctionnal families do not have that. And now that I am older, I prefer " celebrating" the coming of the new year by myself and I'm perfectly happy with that. I still do not celebrate Christmas. ( no religious reasons). Until last year, I spent the day with a friend but this year he is no longer there. He got murdered last May.
Thank you for asking though. It brought back a lot of good memories because I choose to remember the good ones.
Have a wonderful evening.

Christmas Eve typically, as this is when my family gets together. This will be a first Christmas without my dad who passed away this past summer. New Years Eve is usually a lonely time for me as I do not have anyone special in my life to celebrate it with.

Christmas eve. It's the beginning for me. New years eve is more or less the end.

Christmas eve - i think its a time of hope and joy where people are looking for the good in others. I love the excitement of the kids getting ready for the next day, I love to goto church and remember what its all about and stop for a while just to give thanks for what we have,
A personally find New year depressing, nothing changes but everyone expects the new year will be better. We seem to think that the problems will just vanish over night and they never do.

New Years Eve. Use to be my favourite i had all my great uncles over and they were all skilled musicians - We had bagpipes harmonica banjo guitar and mandalin. However now they have sadly all passed away. I still enjoy new year with my friends but i miss those days.
However i also love christmas. i love waking in the morning and opening my presents. I love the fact that it brings my family together and were all happy, and u simply CANT beat christmas dinner.
So in conclusion id say if its a white christmas theres nothing to beat it. However i prefer new year because i get to round all my relatives who i dont see very often, and have a news and i get to go out with all my friends and get totally plastered. So i get the best of both worlds

Probably Christmas Eve. I always find New Years Eve a bit of an anticlimax! I sound miserable but people set out to get really really drunk and if I go out anywhere to see the New Year in, I can never get served at the bar and drunken fools always highly irritate me!

New Year's Eve - I love the countdown to midnight and the thought of a brand spanking new year beginning, the anticipation of what it will bring - good or bad - and also looking over the past year too - what I was proud of or what I wished I hadn't done or said! Also, an excuse for a dram or two, which is always good!!
