New Year!
The year 2009 is going to end soon so do you know what that means? Yes, Christmas-- but it also means New Year's! For different people, New Year's means different things.
From having a party, to staying up late, to seeing the ball drop, or to having friends over to see the ball drop with you, to looking forward to go sledding, or maybe looking forward to eating cake with a Nana, there is always a New Year.
But just how do you celebrate it?
I was lucky enough to have a chance to talk to some 5th graders and see what New Year's means for them.
Carly Storro says "It is the beginning of a new year" when I asked her what New Year's Eve means to her.

Carly Storro says "It is the beginning of a new year" when I asked her what New Year's Eve means to her.
Then I asked Carly "What do you do on New Year's?"
She replied, "I go to my Uncle's house and go sledding, then watch the ball drop."
But when I asked Hannah Fitzgerald what New Years means to her she said something completely different. "When I think of New Years I think of my birthday because it will be coming up in 4 weeks."
What Hannah does for New Year's is "Stay up late with [her] Nana and eat cake while watching the ball drop."
What you are doing on New Years might be the same or different. But either way, remember to start writing 2010!
Happy New Years!
Yes, I was watching the ball drop last night while talking to my mom on the phone. She went to Mass. to go to a bon fire. then after, My brother took our horn and made such a loud honk, It woke up the nieghbors!
