Wow! Makes you want to spend New Years in Scotland! I wonder if you can get anything on TV about their festivities?

Well New Years for me is usually spent ordering out chinese food, half awake half asleep with a glass of wine....but then around 11:40 I wake up all of the kids, drag out some pots and pans and have the kids whoop it up at 12:00, we then usually stay up until 2:00 a.m!

Well our family usually gets together over crackers & cheese, chips, pop & other goodies and watches TV. At midnight we go outside and shoot off a few fireworks.
