New Year's Facts by the Numbers Infographic

       Wishing You Health and Happiness for 2013!

       Here are some facts and stats about New Year's traditions supplied by the History Channel. I am surprised to read that only 44% of American adults plan to share a midnight kiss. What do they do instead?
       This year I will be celebrating at a big New Year's Eve Party. They will be showing the Times Square Ball Drop and I'm sure that I will be drinking champagne. This will be the first year that I will not be making a New Year's resolution. I end up breaking them after a few weeks anyway.
  

      What about you? How will you be ringing in the New Year? What resolutions will you be making?
