  i was thinking earlier after talking to many people recently, that fewer of us go out to celebrate than in previous times. unless i get a party invite i don't bother.
  
  what about others here?

  I can't help thinking back to when the vast majority of us went back to work the day after Boxing Day and New Years Day was a normal working day, how things have changed.

  I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

  Sydney always have a great firework display - we were there once a few years ago, loved it.
  
  We're going out for a meal with my brother and his wife, then home to see the new year in.
  
  HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone.
