New Year’s Eve The night before New Year’s Day, we celebrate New Year’s Eve because it’s the last day of the year. On the night of New Year’s Eve most families stay up till midnight to celebrate at 12pm (New Year’s Day). At 12 o'clock there are fireworks, lit by the council to celebrate the New Year.

On the 1 st of January every year we celebrate New Year’s Day because it’s the start of a new year. Lots of people have parties to celebrate the 1 st day of the new year.

What our families do to celebrate Kelsey’s family: On New Year’s Eve my family and I normally stay up till midnight and watch the fire works from our house. On New Year’s Day we have a barbeque with our family. Abby’s family: A few days before New Year’s Day and Eve we fly to Melbourne to celebrate with old friends and family. Last New Year’s Eve we went to a friends house and stayed the night and at midnight all the kids jumped in the pool, it was REALLY fun. That’s what our families do for the New Year.
