Dumb question. New to town. Does the New Years kiss happen when the ball falls in NYC at midnight here?

It would be best to hug your horse at midnight, Arizona time.

Since my clocks are set to local time wherever I live, I celebrate when my clocks say midnight.


That said, since I'm from the east coast and didn't have the stamina to stay up until midnight, I decided to celebrate when the ball dropped in NYC and then go to bed. Didn't make it - fell asleep in front of the TV.


Yes....I'm a live wire.

It's funny that someone would ask this question, since we actually had this discussion on Thursday.

This August we moved from the Central time zone...we now live in the Mountain time zone...but on New Years we were in California (Pacific time zone). We were watching the New Years festivities on TV from New York (Eastern time zone).

We just decided to kiss every hour on the hour, just to be safe.

You celebrate New Years when it is midnight WHERE YOU ARE AT as that is when it becomes the new year FOR YOU. You don't celebrate in Arizona when someone in Australia, Japan, France, NYC, etc. enters the New Year or you'd celebrate 24 times in one day and only one of those times would be when you actually entered the new year.

Doesn't matter where you live, where you are traveling to, or what you are watching. When it turns midnight in the time zone you are in at that time is when it becomes the new year for you and when you would celebrate.
