We all know that not everyone is in the same time zone, or has the same time on their clock. But what we do know is that we're all going into the new year within at least 24 hours.
This thread is to shout out the places in the world that have hit the new year already, and also celebrate when it's your countries' turn to hit midnight as well. Plus, it'll avoid a bunch of individual threads when they have hit the new year, and hopefully keep all of that discussion in this one. So when a new country, or groups of them, hit midnight.. be sure to give off a nice greeting into 2012.
