The Vienna Philharmonic presents its ever popular annual New Year's Day concert from the Golden Hall of the Musikverein in Vienna. You'll hear your favorite waltzes, polkas and more -- a festive way to start off the New Year. Presented by NPR Music and WGBH, Boston. 

Airs Monday, December 31 at 8:00 p.m. Count down, sing along, and dance to live music all night long. Travel from coast to coast with four celebrations of midnight from time zone to time zone. It's the perfect holiday special for any New Year's event. Spirited, improvised, grooving, and swinging, with strings, horns, voices and drums, each segment is a stop in a sequence of parties, each one contributing something new to the musical feast. WBGO's Rhonda Hamilton anchors, with additional voices along the way.

Help us roast 2012 to a crisp with The Capitol Steps and their annual year-in-review awards ceremony called "Politics Takes a Holiday!"  This year will feature all new awards, such as: 
"Best Use of $3 billion Dollars to Run for President," 
"Worst Place in Public to Admit You Had a Binder Full of Women," 
"Most Prostitutes to Ever Fit into the Secret Service's Hotel," and 
"Worst Hair Cut Ever to Demand to See Anyone's Birth Certificate." 
Go ahead, post on Facebook (hopefully you didn't invest in it) and tell your friends all about it!  If there is anything Congress can agree on, it is The Capitol Steps' one hour long special will have you laughing harder than Joe Biden at a Vice Presidential debate. So laugh away at 2012, because unlike any Presidential election, laughter is free.
