I spend most New Year's with family or in solitude. For the last couple years, my family has been going out to a local Chinese restaurant that has a big buffet on NYE. Though I stayed with my mother last night, I sort of had wanted to be alone. I like to approach it as a day of contemplation and reminiscence. I try to do things that reflect what I'd like to see in the new year. We were watching Hobbit stuff though, so that fulfilled what I was looking for

That's good that you had a fulfilling time, even though you had rather wanted solitude.
I should be more like that. Instead, even though I know I need to be a better person than I am, I don't have much patience or discipline for reinventing myself (or for resolutions).
Yeah, I have to be careful on how many sweet things I eat. It doesn't take much and I'll feel ill.
It was quite delish, though I couldn't eat much of it considering I'm still coming off the flu from the last two to three weeks. Equally, in regard to sweet things, I have two chocolate oranges my mother put in my stocking that I can't eat quite yet because chocolate keeps making me cough. Wargh.
Resolutions are more or less meant for breaking. More and more I go for nebulous things (such as the ones I put in my New Year's post), though I guess things like "eat healthier" could be nebulous as well (though I find most people don't treat it as such).
Have you watched the extended of The Hobbit yet? I appreciate it more now that I've watched it a few times as well as the Appendixes and such on the editing and writing choices.
Yep! That was my first time watching The Hobbit in any form, actually. Haven't seen the special features yet, and as you may recall, I'm not usually so big on commentary tracks. I barely have time to watch long films at all, let alone listen to people talking all the way through them. Although I love some of the information that comes from them, when they're useful. Ugh, I've heard some commentary tracks on stuff where the people just ramble on and on about random stuff instead of talking about the shows and the characters. **headdesk.**
I'd definitely be interested in stuff about the editing and writing choices, though.
Sorry to hear that your New Year's Eve was a bit of a disaster. :(
I'm not at all interested in couples or relationships either. I guess I'm an odd duck because I much prefer being on my own. I've never cared for Valentines either - I just wait till Easter to gobble chocolate! ;)

New Year's Day was thankfully pretty good.
Thanks!

I might end up considering trying something.

Solitude (or just being with immediate family) is very nice.
I love candy for both Valentine's and Easter. Muwahaha.

Me too!
Yes. LOL. Chocolate makes everything useful, even holidays meant for romance.
