Is anyone staying up till gone Midnight to see the New Year in?

I plan to be downtown for the big party, just out taking photos of the celebrations on my own... According to the news it will be -15 Celcius at midnight, I'll just bundle up with warm clothing, there will be lots of people there even with the temperature... I'm actually not a big New Year's Eve person, I just enjoy observing and photographing at the event, and I am a natural night owl anyway...
 
It's just about quarter to 11pm my time and I can't sleep so I'll just ring in the New Year. I'm somewhat buoyed by the fact that this year was not as bad as last year. I kind of hope the trend continues. It was a year I learned a lot about myself and had some pretty significant breakthroughs. Of course my mental health worsened but it's all very treatable. Even if next year is only marginally better, that will be a good trend.
 
While I stayed up until 1 and did my duty to calm the cats down after all the fireworks, I also got rudely awakened at 3am when my other half stumbled home ringing all the doorbells because he forgot his keys at home. :rolleyes: Oh the joys of life with an NT! :p

Look on the bright side; it could have taken his keys and undergone this situation.

I saw the New Year in by means of a walking break in Abergavenny, Monmouthshire. The organisers had booked a function room for a dinner (Indian/Nepalese curry buffet) and dance. The "function room" was actually an old stable and rather draughty (check out a picture here), but it warmed up once we got the moves on.

As they say in that part of the world, Blywyddn Newydd Dda!
 
In the end I didn't stay up, I was in bed by 10 PM after watching the Mrs Brown's Boys New Year Special.
 
I always stay up and watch the ball drop, been doing that since I was a kid. For almost 20 years I've found a satellite feed for the ball, that's my tradition.
