We're going to stay up until midnight this New Year's Eve.
Not because we are at a party or celebrating -- it is to be certain that 2024 leaves.
@spaf There are parts of the world that are already in the future, so I don't think you have to worry about 2024 leaving. However, there are other issues. Some believe that bad things happen if you don't worry about them enough. In my estimation, 2024 disproved that hypothesis because plenty of people worried quite sufficiently, but still the bad things happened.
