Welcome back to another educational episode of Talking Lamar. In this episode, we have dug up

some interesting facts about New Year celebrations that you may not know. What are you talking about?

What are you talking about? Sorry, I forgot what I was talking about. What are you talking about? I am

talking to you. That's just what I was talking about. It's talking Lamar.

You know, we've just taken down our Christmas trees, hopefully.

I did get mine down.

Maybe yours is up.

You can leave it up.

I don't care what you do.

But we've had a lot of New Year's celebrations,

and we've done it all kinds of different ways all around the world. And I found some interesting things. New Year's celebrations, and we've done it all kinds of different ways all around the world.

And I found some interesting things.

New Year's Eve in Times Square is probably one of the most celebrated and most watched and very popular New Year's Eve.

And after that's over with, there's 50 tons of trash that has to be cleaned up in

Times Square after the celebration.

Wow.

50 tons.

And about 3,000 pounds of that is confetti.

That's a lot of stuff.

Now, here's something you might not know. The confetti dropped in Times Square is now holding secret messages. In 2015, they turned the confetti into

wishfetti by having thousands and thousands of people's wishes written on them. They can write them or submit them online to the wish wall in Times Square and they're turned into confetti. So all of those papers, not all of it, but thousands of those little pieces of paper have wishes on them for a new year and for different things.

I think that's pretty cool.
