You should do something small for you. Start a new tradition. If thats as simple as "eat a toasty and play video games all day" then thats awesome. As far as new years: yeah you see TONS more on TV than going into the city. The city sucks, and new years is even worse.

I haven't actually gone into the city for fireworks before. Too busy and hectic for me. I have however gone into the city around 2am or 10pm to laugh at how everything is falling to pieces, though. 2022 was at St. Kilda, but I didn't realize I couldn't see the city fireworks from there (but someone set some off on the beach so it was all good). 2023 was at Williamstown Beach which was alright although when drunk people started screaming and people started setting off fireworks into the audience I decided it was time to bail
