>>79616512Yeah it's weird, it seems to be perceived as a bigger deal than it actually is. Maybe just because all the holiday specials on TV and the like put such an emphasis on it, coupled with the fact that we don't celebrate Thanksgiving making it stick out so much compared to the other holidays that we have in common, even if not in the exact same way (like Halloween).
Plus it's easier over here to believe a holiday could, in theory, be a bigger deal than Christmas, since traditionally New Year's Eve had been a bigger deal, or at least comparable, here in Scotland.
Not to me though, I hate New Year's Eve.
