Our first day back after Christmas break, we watched the countdown and fireworks on Youtube and had a mini-celebration in class.  Everyone had a lot of fun.  It was a little tricky for some of the grade ones to come up with a resolution for themselves.  But they ended up doing a great job!
I hope everyone has a happy and healthy 2014!
