Re: Best place for New Year's Eve in Switzerland

Sorry "de dem," but my daughter is at school starting at 8:30 am, so "sleeping by 9:00" is not practical. At night, she goes to bed at 20:00.
On New Year's Eve, I am willing to make an exception and keep her up until midnight, now that she is old enough to begin to partake on our social traditions and celebrations, which I think is healthy and helpful, but even then, I don't think I will keep her up until 9:00 the next morning.
By the way, the reason they put age limits in London, I have learned, is because of current security concerns, which I find convincing, even if sad. I was planning to stay at a hotel less than 100 meters from the London Eye and Westminster Bridge, at the heart of the fireworks celebration, so we could be within very short walking distance from our room.
It is really a shame. In most countries, christmas and New Year's are warm family celebrations. In Mexico, they are joyous and people are at their best as they celebrate in public places, even hugging strangers at the stroke of midnight. I am hearing that is not the case in some countries, which I always thought of as developed, and have been cautioned that things can even get rowdy. Oh well. What a shame.
Hope you enjoy the holidays....
