In good ol' USA Arkansas we still got 13 hours to go.

May we all have a wonderful, GOG-filled 2010!

Happy New Year everybody!
Feliz Ano Novo!

Here in California it's still only morning of December 31. Kind of drives home just how arbitrary the whole celebration is.

indeed. it is 2010 already here.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
HAPPY NEW DECADE!!

Happy New Year Everybody! (Eventhough technically it's still not New Year's Eve yet.)

Just for the sake of being exceedingly pedantic, the new decade would technically begin in 2011 (just as the new millennium started with 2001, not 2000).

technically yes.
in reality it begins with zeros. so first "decade" had only nine years.
that's why we say 80s and 70s.

We count years based on how "manyth" that year is. So, theoretically (because it was decided afterwards), people celebrated year 1 when the first year was over, year 2 when the second, etc. So, we celebrated 2000 when two thousand whole years had passed since the beginning of our calendar, which means the day after that (1 january 2000) was the first day of the new millennium. Similarly, we're now celebrating that 2010 whole years have passed, and 1 january will be the the beginning of the new decennium.
At least that's how I see it and why I also say we're celebrating the change of a decennium as well.

BÚÉK.

Or, in the longer form: Boldog Új Évet Kívánok!

Godt nytt år

Happy new year everyone! It's now about 1.40 here in Finland so I'm a bit late, but whatever. It's 2010 now, yay.
Did you know that "ankara" means "grim" in Finnish? Has nothing to do with the topic, but maybe you can amaze your friends with this (probably not, if it doesn't work I'll keep your money). :P Happy new year to you as well!
