Snowflakes drifted silently through the crisp, cold air, settling gently on the frosted ground with moonlight casting a serene, silvery glow.
The soft blanket of snow bore many footsteps as the city's populace was active, awaiting this day with excitement every year.
The soft crunch of footsteps and the muffled cheer of a distant New Year's celebration alongside animated conversations hung in the air.
Icicles hung from rooftops like nature's chandeliers, and the starry sky seemed to stretch infinitely above.
Inside cozy homes, families gathered around crackling fires, their laughter and warmth a stark contrast to the icy calm of the wintry night outside.
Meanwhile, others enjoyed the wintry night by visiting high-rise malls, shopping districts, movie theaters, restaurants, and bustling streets.
No matter the place or the people, similar types of excited words were being exchanged.
