Today is the last day of 2008! For many small business owners in United States who run their businesses on a calendar year basis, today is also the last day of their fiscal year.
After today, business expenses and income received will likely count towards 2008 taxes. Today it may still be possible for some transactions to count towards your 2007 taxes. (If you have any specific questions, check with your tax accountant or attorney.)
The end of the tax year isn't what many people are worrying about today, though. For many, today is a day of celebration with friends and family.
In addition to parties, there are many specific traditions surrounding the New Year. These traditions vary widely, depending on the country and culture. Mama Lisa's World Blog lists symbolic New Years foods from around the world. The mental_floss blog also lists six New Years traditions from around the world.
In addition to Dick Clark, tonight's show is also reported to include Carrie Underwood and teen sensation Miley Cyrus.
I wish all of you a Happy New Years! My word of advice to my readers is: be safe. If you're going to drink tonight, then don't drive.
What about you? Do you have any special New Years traditions? What are you planning to do tonight?
