May be "ringing in the New Year" in the comfort of the motorhome. Or, set up tables and heater for poker tournament in the container.

Either way....not sure if we will really make it to 12am. Much warmer in bed.

The last couple New Year's in the desert I haven't made it to midnight. If it's cold, definitely won't!
