Wow! A brand new year full of new possibilities...new beginnings...new challenges...new surprises...new.......you get the idea.

For many people the new year means a lot. They celebrate the new year in many different ways---fireworks, parties, resolutions, the polar bear swim...these are just a few ways people bring in the new year. People all over the world celebrate in their own way.

So I ask you...Do you celebrate the beginning of a new year? What did you do to bring in the 'new year'? If you are away from home, how did people celebrate in your part of the world? Do you think it is important to celebrate the beginning of a new year? Why is it important? If you think it's not that important, why not?
