There are many events planned throughout Texas to ring in the New Year tonight.
Organizers in Dallas say the annual "Big D NYE" celebration will draw tens of thousands of people - perhaps forty thousand or more - and it's billed as the biggest New Year's Eve celebration in the Central Time Zone.
That's at Victory Plaza in Downtown Dallas with live music, food, and fireworks, and it's free to get in with no tickets required.
If you don't feel like driving to Dallas, there are other events happening right here in East Texas.
Lisa Fritsch graduated from John Tyler High School in 1993, and twenty years later is running for Governor of Texas.
She stopped in Tyler over the weekend to talk about the issues she's campaigning on, including the goal to end poverty in Texas. Fritsch aims to beat John Abbott for the Republican nomination for Governor in the March primary.
Watching the movie starring Tom Hanks has become a holiday tradition for many of us, and it will no doubt appear on TV a few times this holiday season. And kids can experience a very real Polar Express right here in East Texas this weekend.
The Texas State Railroad will have the Polar Express running in Palestine, and kids can even wear their PJ's to really get into the spirit.
