Wow... This is an awesome idea Hive account@strawhat
This is how I always celebrate my New Year eve.

It's no more fairy tales that 2017 is gradually taking a bow, and the New year eve is already on queue as usual. It's always an exhilarating moment tailored with so much fanfare.

I would have to draft my "Happy New Year" message earlier at noon, in preparation for the Dec. 31st midnight, and would send it exactly at 12:00 O'clock to friends and family members.
Before this moment, I must have bought some fireworks that will serve me for the night.

Of course, I have to attend the New Year eve Church service, which we call "Cross-Over Night." I normally go with my family to the Church that evening, to thank God for His mercies in the outgoing year, and commit the Next year into His Able Care.

With my fireworks well stocked in my big pockets, am always one of the first to open the floor for explosion, at the conclusion of "sharing the Grace" prayer. I have a way of escaping the watchful eyes of My Dad.

I normally disappear into the crowd with my friends during exchange of New year Pleasantries inside the church, we have our place of convergence, and from there we take off to the streets to enjoy the night. The streets are always beaming with lights, youths dance around burning tyres, some masquerade display too will be on.

At the exhaustion of our fireworks, we stroll back with immesurabe satisfaction that we have finally parted with the year, this is how I spend my New Year eve here in Nigeria.

It's always an awesome experience.
