Well, we've now had *our* New Year's Eve Party !!
As for the last several years we traveled (by interweb) to Finland.
Since it is 8 hours ahead in time, this works Really Well and we’ll be in bed in a couple of hours for a Long Winter’s Nap.
Well, for at least two hours or so before all of the private fireworks in our and surrounding ‘communities’—housing developments—start up. Generally they go on until ~0200.
Last year, when mentioning to a friend that we’d be Celebrating New Year’s in Finland they were amazed that we would travel that far for so short a time—as had plans with them right after the New Year.
This is one of the Really Good uses of the World Wide Web: It makes the world so much smaller and personal!
So, Merry Christmas and ¡Feliz Año Nuevo! o ¡Un próspero año nuevo! to All Y’all from Texas

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
