I'm French Canadian, so New Year is just as big as Xmas, if not bigger. I have a party on New Years Eve at a friend's place which will involve a lot of drinking and a big feast, then on the first I have another big family get together, where we will be eating traditional cipaille (sea-pie or six-pates), a French dish made of potatoes, crust and a different game meat. As you can see, I'm very excited for New Years!
