And whether you make resolutions or not - for sure, at the stroke of midnight, everyone is going to be hearing fireworks or firecrackers or at least dynamite or popshots.
And while you may not be too keen about the noise and annoyance that comes with these explosives during the Christmas and New Year season, others see them as harmless fun for kids, and even in some cases adults.
But what do police think? The compol says that every year they receive dozens of complaints about the noise, especially on New Years Eve. And when we asked him what they plan to do about it, he said that they are willing to allow it for one night and one night only.
Chester Williams, Commissioner of Police
"People call the police complain on blog about firecrackers and man give the kids a break man. It's almost done."
"I am not going to have no child arrested for discharging fire crackers. Well if the parents are caught with it that is a different story."
"But the thing is Marisol if the police goes to a house based on information and searches and finds fire crackers or whatever they may call them and they do not have a permit for it then the police can arrest and charge. I can tell you a number of persons applied for fire crackers for a permit to import and we had people apply for like $5,000 worth some applied for $3,000 worth some apply for $2,000 worth and I when I see that amount I say hell no I will only approve $500 worth because then if you are buying $5,000 or $3,000 you are certainly buying for a commercial purpose that is not for your personal consumption and so I would approve them $500 and I would say on the application go and donate the rest of the money to a charitable organization. Why are you going to put $5,000 up in flames come on so I don't approve that amount I only approve $500 only when it comes to the town councils the city councils and the village councils, I would approve that amount because I know they are doing it for the celebrations."
