revel
This word conveys a sense of unrestrained, exuberant enjoyment. When used as a verb with the preposition in, it suggests a deep, almost indulgent satisfaction derived from a specific situation, sometimes one that others might find unpleasant or chaotic. As a noun or a standalone verb, it evokes images of loud, boisterous festivities. It carries a stronger connotation of noise and excess than simple celebration, often implying a loss of inhibition through partying or drinking.
