There are so many articles about Christmas, so I decided why not go the full distance and create one for the New Year as well. New Year is very much a time of celebration and should be just as jubilant Christmas.

But New Year has more global domination, as even poorer countries celebrate the occasion. So once again I ask the question what is the best choice? To stay at home or go abroad? Let’s take a look at the positives of both.

Let’s first look at the benefits of staying at home for the New Year.

The Parties
A great aspect about spending the New Year in the UK is the parties. Whether you are looking for a lively event, a live concert, or a quiet meal, than you can rest assured that you will find exactly what you are looking for.

The TV
Yet again I have to mention the TV, because TV really does not get any better than New Years day. Whether you are looking for a musical, great movie or a catch up on the soaps than New Years is definitely one not to miss.

Food
The part that I mainly look forward to at New Year is the food; there is nothing better than eating some delicious festive food. Even if you are going out for a meal, I would be surprised if the restaurant does not rustle up something unique.

Let’s now turn our attention to spending New Year abroad and look at a selection of benefits.

Traditions
I think a major benefit of going away for New Year is to get to see how in fact other countries celebrate. Every country does things differently so it would be absolutely amazing to get a taste of different cultures.

Weather
A main benefit for Christmas was that the weather was cold and snowy, but the same cannot be said for the New Year. The reason I say this is simply because of the fact that a lot of people tend to go out for New Year celebrations, therefore they do not want it ruined by cold snaps of weather. Therefore I recommend in visiting a warm country to get the most out of your celebrations.

Taking all of the above into consideration, I personally feel that spending New Year abroad is a better alternative. There is nothing better than spending a lovely Christmas with the family in the UK and then flying off to another country to see in the New Year celebrations.
