New Year’s Eve … that magical night we build up for weeks after surviving a long year. The vision is clear, perfectly timed countdowns, and fireworks lighting up the sky as you twirl into a brand-new year.

Let’s be honest, sometimes the morning after tells a very different story.

Whether you spent the night out at a party, home in your pyjamas, or somewhere in between … here’s a hilarious look at the expectations vs reality of New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day, because you are not the only one who woke up not having a single clue where you are or if you kissed a random stranger at midnight.

You thought:

• This year, I’m going all out
• Outfit? Fire!
• Energy? Through the roof to party until the next day

What actually happened:

• You changed into sweatpants by 22:00
• Your couch is your dance floor
• You kissed your dog at midnight

Post your best or worst photos from New Year’s Eve and Day with the hashtag #MidnightVsMorning because after all, we all started the new year with something, even though it was just a hangover or half a resolution.
