The new year will begin on different moments depending on where you are in the world and what calendar you use. We've got 24 confusing time zones with little rhyme or reason, there are about forty different calendars in use today, and who's to say your clock is 100% accurate? Unless we all use an ultra-precise atomic clock, agree to follow a universal time keeping system and have one unified world calendar, then we can count down the seconds until the new year.

Yeah but people will party no matter what.The reason for said partying is only there as decoration.And i am pretty sure the countdown is a good one.
