Lol yeah I love the drones they use. I look forward to them every year.

Agreed

[@WhosBlox]

The best fireworks show in the Northern Hemisphere was probably Londons fireworks show but in the Southern Hemisphere it’s obviously going to the country and city I live in Sydney,Australia in my opinion had the best firework show in the Southern Hemisphere

Berlin was so lame. They only allowed a handful of people to the brandenburg gate show and didn’t allowed fireworks there as well. What an awful show this must have been there.

[@scca1408]

London was my favorite. Even when they didn't show the tribute to the queen and king part. Even when they turned off the audio. Even when they interrupted many times the part of London to show from the USA just gays and black people. They were , to me, the best. R.I.P Queen and king. Happy New year. God bless the world.

Psalms 150 Praise ye the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power. Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness. Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp. Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with the stringed instruments and organs. Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals. Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord. As always I pray that all repent directly to God in Jesus name, and accept the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ as truth because we can see all the spiritual wickedness slithering around the world today. That great and terrible day of the Lord is near it is near 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.
