We\u2019ve decided that no matter how bad of a year it\u2019s been, the next one will be better.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of simply starting to better ourselves immediately, we wait until the calendar flips back, pinning our hopes and dreams on the day it turns Jan. 1 again. And we\u2019ve decided to celebrate that. And many of us will be really, really inebriated for that.<\/p>\n<p>So you go ahead and make those resolutions and look forward to next year. We\u2019ll show you where you can party. But we&#8217;ve also got some family friendly activities that are on the more wholesome side.<\/p>\n<p>This week, we\u2019ve got a Disney ice skating show, library pajama party for the kids and New Years Eve celebrations for the kids over 21.
