New Years

Here’s a look at some interesting events that took place on this day in history: 1879: Thomas Edison demonstrates incandescent lighting to the public for the first time (more info) 1907: The first New Year's Eve celebration is held in Times Square -- then known as Longacre Square -- in New York City (more info)

Ok, I'll spare you the agony of "So, what's your New Year's resolution?"  Frankly, I hate that question.  I also don't use the word "resolution" because it makes it WAY to easy to break. Instead, I set a new years INTENTION.  That way, when you INTEND to doing something, but fail, well at least the intent was there.  (Sneaky, I k...

This year has been exceptional....the Mayans were wrong, Lindsay Lohan was NOT the main story, and we all became familiar with "binders of women" and how "you didn't build that".  It was even more incredible for me, as I found myself in the middle of a new city, new job, new friends, new home...ne...

When I was a kid I remember being encouraged by my parents to make resolutions to improve in some way the following year. Most of them didn't work out. But maybe you had better luck with yours. Are you going to improve in 2013?

It's true the holidays are easily the greatest time of year, but it can also be the most exhausting. After so much preparation, it sort of feels like we want to nap for weeks. It also doesn't help that we ate our weight in ham and stuffing and chocolate, so we're currently nursing a major food hangover. But it's time to rally, people! We can't forget one of the greatest parties is coming up in jus

When it comes time to celebrate the passing of another year, people around the world often gather together and make a lot of noise in order to demonstrate their good cheer.

Well, the world is supposed to end on December 21, but hopefully we'll make it out alive to celebrate New Year's Eve!

If you resolved to lose weight in the New Year, and you're still on your diet, you've already beaten the odds. A new survey finds 92-percent of New Years dieters have already broken their diet.

Sometimes twin babies born hours apart can end up having different birthdays, but one set in Minneapolis actually have different birth years. While Beckett Humenny was born at 6:40 p.m. on New Year’s Eve, it seems his sister Freya wasn’t quite ready to leave the comforts of the womb until nearly six hours later. She was born at 12:26 a.m. on January 1st.

The hangover has subsided, and the noise makers and funny hats have been thrown away, so now New Year’s revelers are just left with the resolutions they made when the clock struck midnight. Unfortunately, most of us may even throw those out as well.

Everyone knows about the ball that drops in New York City's Times Square to mark the start of a new calendar year. What you may not realize, though, is that other cities around the nation have similar traditions that entertain and enthrall their local communities. Here's a look at some of the odder traditions that will be taking place in America tonight:

Justin Bieber was joined by guitarist Carlos Santana on ‘Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve’ last night (Dec. 31.) The fact that The Biebs was playing with a guitar legend like Santana essentially guaranteed that he wouldn’t be playing any of his teen-friendly hits like ‘Baby’ or ‘Never Say Never’ and that was okay. Bieber actually whispered words of wisdom and performed the Beatles classic ‘Let
