If you’re spending the last night of the year alone, Ella Fitzgerald’s romantic query, “What are you doing New Year’s Eve?” might seem more like mockery. The great news is that it doesn’t have to be that way. Being alone on New Year’s Eve can be as enjoyable as being at the best of parties. Here are some ideas for making the most of your night alone.
1. Serve yourself your favorite dinner, whether you cook it or order out. Eat by candlelight. Use the good china. Play your favorite music. In short, make a dinner date with yourself.
2. Do you have friends or family who are too far away to share the evening with you? Call them on a group call, or set up a private online chat room.
3. Use the evening to treat yourself to your favorite pursuits. An all-night movie marathon for film buffs, for instance.
4. Go online and join a chat. Being able to connect with others, even if not in person, can fulfill your social yearnings.
5. If you’re in the mood for contemplation, use part of your evening to reflect on the outgoing year and what you hope to achieve in the coming one. Make notes and list goals.
Finally, whatever you do on New Year’s Eve, make the most of it because midnight will be here and gone before you know it!
