New year’s eve is the occasion that boasts some of the biggest parties of the year in every part of the world.
It’s a New Year …Wherever you live
Take Times Square, for example. Every year tens of thousands of people throng to Manhattan and Times Square to witness the traditional crystal ball drop at midnight. The celebrations at the London Eye on the South Bank in London attract equally large crowds.
