Comparative New Year's

Quick thought:
I grew up with Guy Lombardo and/or Dick Clark as the New Year's eve's celebrations to watch. Each offered different generations the chance to dance to the music they loved. The Canadian tradition, however, seems to focus on using New Year's Eve to review the year and milk it for every bit of political humour possible.
One country wants to end the year dancing; the other, laughing.
