It's never too late to have a happy
childhood. Berke Breathed Weird Facts & Trivia -6
Auld Lang Syne is sung at midnight to toast in the New Year. The song was composed by Robert Burns sometimes in the 1700's. The term means "old long ago" or "the good old days."
December 31, 1907 saw the very first ball lowering in Times Square.
Stats of the first New York ball: 700 pounds; 5 feet in diameter. The ball was made from wood and iron.
The modern ball that is dropped is made from Waterford Crystal and weights over 1,000 pounds. There are over 9,000 LED lights, but uses hardly any energy. The ball begins to drop at 11:59 and completes the journey exactly at mid- night to ring in the New Year.
The ball was not lowered in 1942 and 1943 due to wartime restrictions.
On New Year's Eve, about 75% of American Parties are with 20 people or less.
