Is New Year's Eve the most overrated holiday ever? | The Tylt
For some, New Year's Eve is the best holiday of the year. It has champagne toasts! Fresh starts! Possible midnight make out sesh! But for many, it's the absolute worst. Terrible weather, no cabs, long lines and a lot of pressure to find a great party. Plus, watching twenty-something girls in four-inch heels puking in the gutter is no way to kick off a new year. Do you find New Year's Eve awesome or wildly overrated? 🍾 🎉

As Complex magazine observed:
The patron to bartender ratio is typically 500 to one. The night’s expectations are unreasonably high....all for a 10 second countdown and a stupid ball drop. For other holidays, you get presents, a turkey feast, or a fuckton of candy. But, New Year's Eve is just a costly, sloppy mishmash of d-bags and vomit-soaked toilet seats. NYE can GTFOH.
It's a big exciting countdown! It's a global celebration of a brand new year that everyone can participate in, and you get to drink champagne and maybe wear a shiny dress and kiss someone new.🍾🍾🍾 🎉🎉🎉
People haaaaaate it—many will not even venture outside because they find it so awful to be amongst drunken celebrants. As Global Grind observed,
New Year’s Eve is always severely expensive, extremely mediocre, or sadly boring – never in-between.
Nothing I dread more than New Year's Eve legit worst day ever

But for others, it's a better holiday than either Thanksgiving or Christmas. Lots of people love the idea of a big joyful celebration and a fresh start. 🎉🎉🎉 🍾🍾🍾
Everyone excited for Christmas and getting presents and all I'm getting is air. Meehhh. I'm more excited for New Year's Eve. Best holiday :D
