TOPSHOT-US-NEW YORK-TIMES SQUARE

There goes another holiday! Look we knew 2020 was going to be very different, and honestly, it's not going to go back to normal on January 1st! But I do think 2021 will feel a bit better...or at least that's what I hope!

So NY announced that they will BAN crowds from Times Square on Near Years Eve for the first time in 114 years!! Times Square will be cordoned off by the NYPD on December 31st

So what will the city do instead? The ball dropping will be virtual this year to accommodate for living under the pandemic 

'There will be some socially distanced activities in Times Square but it's going to be primarily for a broadcast and streaming audience,' Tim Tompkins, President of the Times Square Alliance

I've done the whole Times Square event for NYE before and I have to admit at the time it was cold, long and I needed to use the bathroom, but it was SO worth it because when that ball drops and the confetti flies, it's so much fun!!!
