The

         On New Year’s Eve, the massive shimmering ball will be lowered at   
         Times Square in New York City to kick off the new year. Though the   
         ball drop tradition at Times Square began in 1907, New Year’s Eve   
         celebrations at the iconic venue were first held in 1904.   
         
   
         
   
         The original ball, measuring 5 feet in diameter and weighing 700
