How did you celebrate NYE 1999?

It’s now been 25 years since we were celebrating the turn of the millennium and Y2K was all over the headlines. For those of you old enough to remember it, how did you celebrate?

I was 10 years old at the time. I was at a family gathering and we did fancy dress (I dressed as a skeleton). We had fireworks at midnight and that’s about all I can remember.

It’s funny to think about what has changed since then. This was a time before social media and smartphones. Even the internet was in its infancy then (we didn’t get online until 2004). When you think about it this way, it seems like such a lifetime ago and yet it also doesn’t seem that long ago. Time is weird like that!
