Here in New Zealand, New Year’s Eve is commonly referred to by its Maori name, Ta’analuoluallamotakka lewoluaee (literally, ‘Night of the spitting zithers’). Traditions include blindfolded badminton tournaments, a traditional meal of anchovy and cashew sandwiches (pan fried), and parlour games including ‘Name That Organ’ and ‘Whack-a-Thompson’s Gazelle’.

Simple times, but good fun.

Well, both islands were settled by people traveling over treacherous oceans in open, flimsy canoes, with the result that most of their consonants were washed overboard.

Probably the same as every other year in the past, falling asleep in my chair before the ball drops.

Pan fried anchovy and cashew sandwiches actually sounds like it would work! Is that with crushed cashews?

Ribs, Dinner for One, and usually watching a telecast of a local (read: Chicago) ball-drop. The same procedure as every year.

That's been my New Year's Eve for so long that I now consider it tradition.
