How do you bring in the New Year? Any special family traditions?

Singing Te Deum in church on the 31st. You get a plenary indulgence for doing so.
Alas I have no traditional church near me, so the indulgence shall not be mine.

Happy New Year 2014 to all!

We usually attend the Holy Mass since the Feast of Mary, Mother of God is a Holy Day of Obligation in the US.

Nothing too special. Usually some relatives come over, we play games until midnight, do the ten second countdown, and drink some champagne.

On New Year's Day, we go to Mass, and have pork of some kind for dinner.

I sleep the new year in, unless i'm woken by fireworks, then I roll over and go back to sleep. It's just another sleep for me. Oh! before we go to bed we do a bit of this: :alcohol:
