I view the New Year celebration as a good, better than many, excuse to get together with friends and or family and lift a couple with noble words of good will. Watching some people I don't know doing their thing holds no appeal to me.
 
We wait until New Year's Day for that. We figure that whether we go to sleep in one year or the next, it'll still be the next when we wake up. Then it's black-eyed peas, collard greens and my Mawmaw's Yum Yum Cornbread.
 
The old cod's my granparent's gave me when I had when I was young, and other, Savings bond. had in the past, rolled into a giant money making CD.
I am..: cough I can afford gold bars :
 
My cornbread is pretty much traditional. I don't deviate much from the recipe that is on the carton. My deviation I use equal parts of flour and cornmeal, two eggs instead of one, and a quarter cup of granulated sugar. I sometimes add chili and chipotle seasoning when I'm fixing cornbread for beans.
A favorite while growing up was fried cornmeal mush. My mother would fry the slices in bacon grease. Talk about some serious yum.

Sounds like jiffy cornbread mix.
Too sweet.
 
To put 2025 in perspective:

COVID happened 5 years ago.
People born in 1990 will be 35 this year.
Remember when 2005 felt so futuristic? Now it's 20 years ago.
Y2K happened a quarter century ago.
We're closer to 2050 than we are to 1995.

I remember when prince's song 1999 came out in 1982 and that seemed like centuries into the future.
I go a lot of places where they still trying keep the covid vaccine drama a live by claiming new and deadlier strains are being discovered every day, every minute.
In 2050 I will be 79
