My very best wishes for the New Year ~ may it bring you all that you wish for 
Every New Year’s eve
We stand at the top of the lane,
We see and hear
The glittering City fireworks,
No scent of cordite mars or jars;
Sweet bright light
Sky lanterns
Swaying through the night.
This year no breath of snow
Whispers past,
No frost tweaks
At extremities,
The ceiling of the faithful City
Celebrates time.
We stand at the top of the lane
Sipping scented spiced hot wine.

Happy New Year, Polly! What are cordite mars and jars?

You’re clearly enjoying yourself at your party Robin
How much have you had to drink? Really? Already? Lamp shade’s looking most attractive.
Cordite is a chemical in fireworks, so you can probably work out the rest ~ all the best for 2013
