New Year's Eve...hmmm. The last time I stayed up until midnight I thought "This is it?" We used to celebrate at 9, but now we celebrate at 8. We say "It's midnight somewhere. Happy New Year." and go to bed. Pray for the people out on the road.

My parents used to stay up and watch the ball come down, say Happy New Year, and kiss. As many years as I can remember starting when I was old enough to stay up until twelve, and ending January 1, 1998...the last New Year that Dad was alive.
