Personally: I work. I am in hospitality so Christmas/New Years is the busiest time of the year, especially christmas. Basically all hands on deck, even if I am back office.

Generally in my country, it's the one day that everyone is off (basically minus city services and hotels) so tends to go back home. Everything is closed, so the western style party new years isn't a big thing outside of Tokyo. Fireworks aren't common either, those are a summer thing here. People sit at home with their familyand watch the [absolutely awful] new years specials.

I don't mind working, I would rather do that than have to watch another multi-hour long new years TV comedy special.
