New Year's Eve is a very strange holiday. You either love it, or you hate it. The reason? There are so many expectations to go out and do something totally wild as a last hurrah for the past year. Some people think that they have to go out and spend a bunch of money on a fancy hotel suite with 10 of their "closest" friends, while others subject themselves to overcrowded city bars with overpriced drinks. With the stakes so high on the last night of December, you're either going to fail miserably, or have the best night of your life.
Usually, it's the first option.
Sometimes, the best thing to do is to stay in with your actual closest friends and family with some snacks and mulled cider. This way, you don't even have to put on real pants. Plus, if you stay home, you've got a freezer full of your favorite Ben & Jerry's flavor, and a front row seat to the big Times Square concert.
To ring in 2012, Justin Bieber took to the stage. Much like the holiday itself, you either love the Bieb, or you hate him. But before you judge this performance of "Let It Be," listen to what he has to say before he even starts singing. You might just change your mind.
Then, for an epic guitar solo, Carlos Santana comes on the stage to turn this into a real showstopper!
If you think you'll stay in and watch the hubbub unfold from the comfort of your living room this year, SHARE this with your friends and family!
