For reasons I may not disclose freely on the internet. I am going to celebrate new years eve this year by myself. Does anyone know of ways to solitarily celebrate new years eve?

Note: Englisch is not my first language

Edit: Thank you all so much for the responses. I ended up making it a good movie night, and watched the count down on tv. Along with some retro video games, plus pizza. All things considered it was a night well spent!

I fucking love celebrating that day alone. It never made any sense to me celebrating a calendar change and all the build up to nothing actually happening. The first year I spent it alone I had been the sober driver and took a friend home early and happened to still be on the old dirt road heading back to the party when midnight hit and it was so peaceful. So up until I had a family of my own I spent every new years alone on a hike or working on a project alone or with a close friend, woke up feeling better.
