France: The French call it a day online quite early, at about 10 p.m. But they don't do it until they've had a chance to put their dancing shoes on, after searching for “night club” and “dance”.

22、Ways to Start Out the New Year
♦ Let go of the past.
Don’t set your expectation(期望)based upon a past unhelpful year. It's so easy to let your expectation for good to happen in a New Year fall low because of some bad things that happened during the last year.

♦ 【3】
Make a great effort to do more things that bring joy into your life and a smile to your face. Fill up your joy tank so that you can be ready to face whatever the New Year brings. 【4】And then you won't forget to plan some activities that will give you a good time and plenty of belly laughs along the way.
♦ Keep moving forward.
