It is December thirty-first, 2008, the time when the old year dies and the New Year is born．Many Americans have parties at home and invite all their friends．Many of these events are noisy．People shout and sing．They often blow on small noisemakers when the New Year arrives at midnight．They kiss their husbands or wives or the person they are with．They dance to music．Other Americans spend a quiet evening at home．They drink Champagne at midnight to welcome the New Year．
Some people drink too much alcohol at New Year's Eve celebrations．This can lead to tragic results if a person drinks too much and then drives a car．The National Safety Council says hundreds of people die in road accidents during the holiday．
In recent years , the danger of accidents has resulted in a new tradition called the“designated driver”．One person among a group of friends drinks little or no alcohol during New Year's Eve celebrations．Then this designated driver can safely drive the other people home．Many American cities also offer free taxi service on New Year's Eve to take people home safely．
Other Americans observe the coming of the New Year at events without alcohol．More than 220 American cities hold these First Night celebrations．Artists in Boston Massachusetts started the tradition of First Night celebrations in 1976．They wanted to observe the coming of a New Year．But they did not want to hold noisy drinking parties．So they organized music concerts, art exhibitions and other events to observe the holiday．
