What do you and your family or friends typically do to celebrate New Year’s Eve?  Did you make a new year's resolution this year?  If so, what is it?  Do you think you'll keep it?  If you don’t really celebrate, tell me about some New Year’s traditions that you’re aware of.  Think about what people eat, or certain superstitions that people have regarding the new year.
