Down town area get pretty wild on this state.
(*wild: full of energy, Energetic)
There are tons of youngsters out on the streets trying to enjoy themselves.
Restaurants, clubs and bars get packed with people.
(get pack : 사람들이 꽉 차다)
Everything is more expensive than usual on this state.
Christmas is good excuse to stay out all night.

Of course people typically spend time with significant others on Christmas Eve.
(*'significant other' = Important to you, 애인, 배우자 등.
Lover는 어감이 좀 이상함. 일상적으로 쓰기엔..금지된 사랑같은 어감)

I'm not seeing anyone right now, so i just probably party with friends.
(Seeing someone : 만나고 있는 사람)
