New Year's Eve

New Year's Eve is a celebration that is celebrated on December 31. In modern societies, New Year's Eve is often celebrated at social gatherings, during which participants dance, eat, consume alcoholic beverages, and watch or light fireworks to mark the incoming year. The observance of New Year's Eve generally extends through midnight of January 1 (New Year's Day) . Since 1907, the famous ball-dropping on top of One Times Square in New York City is a major component to the New Year's celebration. The 11, 875-pound crystal ball located high above Times Square is lowered, starting at 11:59 p.m and reaching the bottom of its tower sixty seconds later, at the stroke of midnight. In the Chinese New Year its celebrated in many countries around the world. The holiday normally falls between 20 January and 20 February. The holiday is celebrated with food, families, lucky money (usually in a red envelope), and many other red things for good luck. Lion and dragon dances, drums, fireworks, firecrackers, and other types of entertainment fill the streets on this day. My opinion about New Year's Eve is that its amazing. I believe its a good holiday to celebrate the upcoming year and also a good way to get family and friends together to have fun and enjoy their selves with.
