New Year’s Day is a time of resolutions and starting fresh for some, while for others it is spent recovering from a big, late night spent with friends and family.
Many on Christmas Island attend fireworks displays on 31 December to await the stroke of midnight and the commencement of a brand new year. They may also swim and play at the beach on New Year’s Eve and Day.
