Countdown the last 10 seconds to the New Year or watch the ball drop on TimeSquare (on TV)?

Oops - sorry I was writing my post at the same time as iHeartPieds!

In response to both iHeartPieds and Faery,

I think fireworks are reasonable but we don't do them

We actually do both, we countdown with the replay of the ball dropping in NY that's synced to our time zone
