This week, let's start with some sites to celebrate bringing in the New Year. Then, we'll search for some sites for winter sports. We may not get much snow in south Mississippi, but we can find all the snow and ice we want on the Web! 

At the New Year's Celebration Around the World Wide Web, you can bring in the new Year at Times Square with the dropping of the "ball," or you can visit San Francisco, Boston, Hawaii, or even Scotland. The schedule of college football bowls is listed, as well as recipes, party games, songs, and New Year's trivia. http://w3.trib.com/~dont/newyears.html
