At home(because there's a blizzard tonight).
Myself(because my parents are old nincampoops that go to bed early). Or whoever I talk to online.
Probably not too much, but hey, anything can happen.
Quitting bad habits, and be more active and get into shape.
YES! I am more determined this year than EVER! ^o^v

Happy new year's to you all! :D <3

Going to a bar with a co-worker and his friends. Will be laughing the night away, but yet I will be looking at my life to where I was, where I am, and where I want to be. Cheers!

Everywhere seems to have something different. A place up north called Stonehaven rolls fire balls down their streets, an enormous party in Edinbrugh, I remember once they burnt a viking long ship, I hope that still happens. There was a big open air Céilidh in Glasgow - I would have loved to have gone to that.

And lots of bank holidays around this time. Hogmanay is arguably more important than xmas in Scotland. :-k

Lots of Pagan customs seem have survived and are still used to celebrate.

Wowsa, I've been friends with scotts for 4 years now and they never ONCE told me all the cool stuff that happens. David and Lachlan are gonna hear it from me!

I went over to a ladies house from church with my grandparents and all her family. We played games all night long. It was a lot more fun that i was expecting it to be, even with little munchkins yelling all the time. When you play scrabble slam, and half the worlds wind up being curses you cant help but have a good time. After that we played balderdash and got crazy words with crazy answers, all of which where hilarious.

AS for new years resolutions, I think I'ma try to take care of myself better this year. Not sure how well it'll go, but hey, its worth a shot!

Went to my friend's house and had a lot of fun. Nearly froze to death waiting to be picked up. Balderdash is fun. I love that game. Always laugh hard when I play.

Also, about a year ago, the WSJ had a weekend article about how Americans have come to celebrate new year is completely based upon Scotland.

I did notice some customs here have been exported. I think I have heard American's singing Auld Lang Syne before, which was a bit of a mind [censored] !
