So one interesting NYE tradition in Turkey.
Yes, some celebrate it—with a
tree and gifts. Like a non-religious Xmas, but on NYE.

Belly dancer. On TV. At midnight.
Started in 1980. Only state TV then. One channel.

More power to everyone running that four mile race in Central Park, starting soon. I’m pretty close to the route. I’m going to go out and see where I can cheer them on. Definitely not running, though.
Happy New Year!
