It’s the time of year when we reflect on auld lang syne, remembering the year past. It’s also a time when we are thinking about what lies in the year ahead.
It is always interesting to reflect on what really happened in the year and look forward to a new beginning full of hope and promise.
As we wait to know what path Clay Aiken chooses, I know it will be interesting. He always makes life exciting!
The following are some of the most amazing photos of New Year’s celebrations around the world.

In France, New Year’s Eve is usually celebrated with a feast, le Réveillon de la Saint-Sylvestre. This feast customarily includes special dishes including foie gras, seafood such as oysters, and champagne. The celebration can be a simple, intimate dinner with friends and family or, une soirée dansante, a much fancier ball.

In London, around 12,000 fireworks producing 50,000 projectiles lit up the city as part of a 12-minute display. Music for the display also sampled famous artists who died in 2016, including David Bowie and George Michael.
