We can't forget one of the greatest parties is coming up in just a few short days-- New Year's Eve.
When it comes time to celebrate the passing of another year, people around the world often gather together and make a lot of noise in order to demonstrate their good cheer.
Well, the world is supposed to end on December 21, but hopefully we'll make it out alive to celebrate New Year's Eve!

It took a movie with a zillion stars to do it, but ‘The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn’ has finally been knocked off its perch at the top of the charts. Despite blistering reviews, ‘New Year’s Eve’ brought in $13.7 million in its debut, making it the most popular movie at the box office this weekend.
