Happy New Year!

The countdown in Fort Wayne has not yet started, but around the world people have already got their party going!

Fireworks explode at midnight above Sydney harbor and the Sydney Harbor Bridge to celebrate New Year's Eve in Australia today.













Balinese dancers perform during a cultural parade at the New Year's Eve celebration in Denpasar, Bali, Indonesia, today - despite threats of a terror attack.













Fireworks light the sky over Victoria Harbor in Hong Kong during a pyrotechnic show to celebrate the New Year today.












Father Frost (the equivalent of Santa Claus) and Snow Maiden accompanied by a brass band march during a New Year parade in central Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan today.











This New Years' Eve is also a special one because it will be a full moon AND a blue moon. What is a blue moon? It doesn't mean the moon will look blue, though it could. Blue moon simply refers to the second full moon of the month.

Whether the moon makes you howl or not, whatever you do this New Years' Eve, keep it safe and make it happy! See you next year!
