It’s New Year’s Eve and for many of us, that either means getting dressed to the nines and going out to a party, or hanging out at home with the family watching the giant ball drop in Times Square on TV.

Morning Shift opens the phones to hear from listeners about all the ways they plan on ringing in 2019, and we also check in with WBEZ Curious City reporter Monica Eng about New Year’s Eve traditions in her family.
