It is December thirty-first in New York City. Hundreds of thousands of people are gathered in Times Square. They stand close together, waiting in the cold darkness for midnight. That is the time when the old year dies and the New Year is born.The people count the seconds until the New Year arrives. “Ten … nine …eight …” A huge glass New Year’s ball falls through the darkness. Someone says the ball looks like thousands of burning stars. Someone else says it looks like a huge, bright piece of snow.When the ball reaches the ground, the New Year has begun. People shout “Happy New Year!” They throw tiny pieces of colorful paper into the air. They dance. They sing a traditional New Year song of friendship called “Auld Lang Syne.”
