As I am writing this it is 1:13Am local time Dec 31st. How do you like to celebrate New Year's or plan to celebrate it this year? What are some memorable New Years you remember? Here in Britain we have an annual variety show that marks the occasion called the Hootenanny that many people tune into. In 2013 I when to a open party at a local hotel with stand up comedians. As I got up to leave I lifted a glass and said "To 2013, may it finally dispel those myths about the end of the world!" Personally I didn't like that one much which is why I've settled on this annual tradition. I sit at home on New Year's eve and watch Rudolph's Shiny New Year, the only New Year's Movie there is. Then I tune in and wait for the biggest New Year's party in the country... Big Ben striking midnight and the massive fireworks display following. How about you? And one more thing... HAPPY NEW YEAR!
