Fireworks over Phra Nakhon Khiri, Phetchaburi, Thailand

See you next year!. Happy New Year's Eve!

It's time for the final countdown! New Year's Eve is celebrated tonight in many countries to see out the old year and hope for the promises of the new one. The traditions of different nations can be quite creative when it comes to saying farewell to the year. If you're not in the United Kingdom greeting the arrival of midnight with the chimes of London's Big Ben, you might watch the Times Square Ball Drop in the United States, smash crockery in Denmark, stuff your mouth with grapes for the countdown in Spain or hang onions outside your door in Greece. Celebrators in Thailand might visit a temple for good luck or watch the fireworks illuminating Phra Nakhon Khiri, also known as 'holy city hill,' based in the historical park of the same name. Wherever you celebrate, have a great one. See you next year!
