How do you celebrate the New Year?

NYE in my city is traditionally celebrated by excessive consumption of alcohol, followed by a lot of shouting, secretion of bodily fluids on the streets, drink-driving, fighting and bitter recrimination . . rounded off with a group visit to the accident & emergency ward to verbally and physically abuse the nursing staff. If you're lucky, you might get to see a firework display in your neighbour's garden so loud that it will literally scare your pets to death.
