The first word most people will say in 2016 is ‘Happy’. Circumstances and context and location will vary, but starting the New Year off with ‘Happy’ is a constant. What is also a constant is that a new year should be welcomed in an inimitable style and unrestrained extravagance; because, after all, the purpose of life is to be happy, as the Dalai Lama once said. These are the greatest, most lavish and best ways to spend New Year’s Eve this year, counting down to the start of 2016 in remarkable ways that will make everyone ‘Happy.’
