How do you celebrate the new year here? Is there singing? I could go for some singing right now. I always enjoyed the start of a new year at home. There was so much... hope and promise. ~~I mi~~ I think we could use more of that after what we've been through together.

	Yes, singing! We have a song for everything. I'll teach you Auld Lang Syne. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Wonderful! I love a good song. We'll make sure everyone can hear us! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Loudly is the best way to sing. Especially for celebrating. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I knew I liked you. Fili and I ought to recreate the song we sung for Bilbo when we first met him! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If you teach me I'll help out. Do you have a lot of songs where you're from? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Are you good at catching things? We have a lot of songs. It's a popular way to tell a story in our world. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lunie 2015-12-31 10:20 pm UTC (link)
	Well that depends. What sort of things? Am I chasing them or are they being thrown at me? At Hogwarts, the Sorting Hat sang a song about the founders every year. It always had a new one. I suppose it didn't have much to do with its time besides compose ballads, being a hat and all. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Drinking, dancing, fireworks. Music, apparently. And a kiss at midnight for luck. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	A kiss for luck? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ashtawawidiwin 2015-12-31 05:14 am UTC (link)
	I have no idea where it came from. Maybe something to do with starting the year with something positive? It can be fun, anyway, whether it's with someone special or just grabbing a stranger. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sonofdurin 2015-12-31 05:15 am UTC (link)
	I see. I believe I will sit that tradition out, but best of luck to everyone else. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	You're supposed to kiss someone??? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You don't have to, but it's a fun tradition. (Reply to this) (Parent)

Parties. Lots and lots of parties and drinking. And if you're lucky enough to live in New York City, you stay away from Times Square and ring in the new year at home with a party. But it's always a good idea to do the Times Square thing, just to have done it. There are a ton of people and it's a big party in the middle of the city, and at midnight a ball drops, and it's pretty awesome.

I'm pretty sure that there's going to be a big party going on here.

	A ball dropping is something people wish to see? I hope there's a big party. I've always loved parties. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	We used to have fireworks where I'm from. They'd light up the sky for a few minutes. Sometimes we'd have sparklers to play with. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	sonofdurin 2015-12-31 04:47 am UTC (link)
	Fireworks! We don't ever see enough of those. It's a shame Gandalf isn't here. I'll bet he could make the best fireworks anyone has seen. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	agelessbeauty 2015-12-31 04:48 am UTC (link)
	I have no idea who that is but maybe someone around here can whip up some fireworks. We've got people who know magic so maybe they can do something like them! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sonofdurin 2015-12-31 05:14 am UTC (link)
	Gandalf the Grey? He's a wizard. I hope someone can. That would be very exciting. Festive! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	agelessbeauty 2015-12-31 05:16 am UTC (link)
	Sorry, not ringing any bells for me. I vaguely know the Harry Potter ones but I didn't really get into their books. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sonofdurin 2015-12-31 05:46 am UTC (link)
	Oh. I thought everyone knew who Gandalf was. I don't really know Harry Potter at all. We didn't have those books. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	agelessbeauty 2015-12-31 05:47 am UTC (link)
	Others from my world might but he's not ringing any bells for me. No Harry Potter books at all? Wow. They're like all over my world. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sonofdurin 2015-12-31 05:51 am UTC (link)
	No, no books about anyone by that name. I never spent much time reading at all, to tell you the truth. I was too busy learning to fight. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	agelessbeauty 2015-12-31 05:53 am UTC (link)
	What were you learning to fight? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sonofdurin 2015-12-31 09:21 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, anything that wanted to fight us! Giant spiders, orcs, dragons... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	agelessbeauty 2016-01-01 02:07 am UTC (link)
	I seriously hope none of those show up here. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	A lot of big parties. Normally I add a year to my age too but last new year was only a few weeks ago when I was in Murderworld so I suppose I'll still be 18 for another year. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	sonofdurin 2015-12-31 04:48 am UTC (link)
	I'm not even sure when my birthday would be in this calendar. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	x_facility 2015-12-31 05:13 am UTC (link)
	I was never told mine. It's probably in a file somewhere in a Facility base. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sonofdurin 2015-12-31 05:16 am UTC (link)
	So you picked the end of the year? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	x_facility 2015-12-31 05:30 am UTC (link)
	Or the start. It's easier than remembering a day. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sonofdurin 2015-12-31 05:48 am UTC (link)
	That's true, it would be easier to remember than a random day. I'd pick one, only I'm not sure if it matters much here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	x_facility 2015-12-31 06:43 am UTC (link)
	I don't think it matters at all but not everyone agrees. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sonofdurin 2015-12-31 10:07 pm UTC (link)
	We marked a new year of life with our own celebrations, but for some, I can see how it would be less important. If you've lived for hundreds already... Perhaps it has a different meaning. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's useful to know your approximate age to keep track of biological changes particularly in the first two decades. I don't need to be specific to the day. (Reply to this) (Parent)
