Country:  | Screamin, is there anything special that your area does for New Year's Day? I'm close to Philadelphia and they have what is called a Mummer's Parade. Groups get together in wild costumes and play string band music on banjoes and "strut" down the main street. 100,000 people show up and watch and its all over our TVs every year.

Country:  | That sounds like alot of fun njaco but nah unfortunately not, the only thing special that happened last night ws people setting off illegal fireworks and once midnight hit me and my friends ran up the road with sparklers shouting out new years and having a quick chat with my neighbours who were also willing to share the spirit of new years.

Country: | Well, it's almost 6 AM out here is California. The winds have been monstrous all night and are continuing unabated this morning. Made me nervous as hell when folks were launching illegal fireworks here as well. But so far, all is well, albeit gusty. Now, where's my claritin...
Happy new year everyone. May your hangovers be short and not too severe.

Country: | I was bringing the New Year in with my new Bride, the right way I might add, and fireworks were going off all over the neighborhood...
Gave new meaning to the phrase "Seeing Fireworks"...
Had a great night, no hangover.....
