This Week

Happy You Know What: You don’t like football and you haven’t been invited to any good parties? Then ring in the New Year online.

For a countdown to the new year (it’s Thursday, in case you live in a cave . . . ) and holiday traditions and symbols, check out https://wilstar.net/newyear.htm. The site also has a history of New Year’s Day. (It wasn’t always Jan. 1.)

Kids from around the world tell how they celebrate, at https://www.kidlink.org/KIDPROJ/MCC/New_Year_s_Eve.html

Billy Bear’s New Year’s Page (https://www.worldvillage.com/kidz/bilybear/newyear/newyear.htm) has more fun for kids. They can make a calendar, play games and color and e-mail cards.

And finally, why not make it official and submit your New Year’s resolutions to https://www.boston.com/common/cres.htm? Maybe they’ll be easier to keep if they’re in writing somewhere.
