There was a local item for kids new years at noon today and I was talking with my wife that I feel like that would make more sense to do on actual new years day since you are still kinda celebrating the new year that has arrived even if noon is a bit arbitrary. I do enjoy throwing up the various major cities new years countdowns as they pass. Usually by the time I get around to it I have to play catchu up starting with auckland which I have not even started today yet but then again I think the firework displays tend to not get uploaded for a few hours.
