"Maybe it's much too early in the game, Ooh, but I thought I'd ask you just the same. What are you doing New Year's, New Year's Eve?..."
Under the night sky, a tapestry of bright stars heralded the arrival of the New Year, and all across North America, there was an air of joyous festivity with strains of New Year's songs wafting everywhere—"What Are You Doing New Year's Eve?", "Happy New Year", "Auld Lang Syne"...
"Hoo-hoo!" Vibrant celebrations and countdown events were being held in cities everywhere, with fireworks poised to bloom in beautiful bursts. Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas hosted a concert; Times Square in New York was a sea of humanity, with joy and laughter merging into a boisterous ocean, all waiting for the traditional giant crystal ball drop. Television programs like NBC's "New Year's Eve with Carson Daly" and CNN's "New Year's Eve Live" broadcast the bustling scenes of Times Square, with countless viewers cozy and happy watching at home with their families.
