A new Rasmussen Report poll shows that while most Americans are not planning to attend a party or go out to dinner on New Year’s Eve, a strong majority, 66 percent, say they will say a prayer before midnight that day.
The percentage of those who plan to pray (66 percent) on New Year’s Eve is larger than the respective percentage of those who are going to drink (42 percent), attend a party (21 percent), and go out for dinner with friends or family (18 percent) to celebrate the new year, the survey found.
“This New Year’s Eve, most Americans don’t plan on attending a party or even a dinner, but a sizable number intend to enjoy a drink. Even more will offer up a prayer as 2010 becomes 2011,” stated the poll , which was released today.
In contrast, 25 percent of Americans say they will not pray before the clock strikes midnight on New Year’s Eve, according to the poll.
While men are more likely than women to party on New Year’s Eve, women are more likely than men to say a prayer that day, the poll revealed.
Furthermore, “Black Americans are also more likely than whites to say a prayer before 2011 begins,” the survey found.

4 pm Mass today at St Francis de Sales church on Riverside Drive.
Midnight Mass there in Spanish tonight.
Our country and the town of Salisbury need all the prayer we can get right now. So does our world for that matter.
Both. I will say a prayer of thanks for the blessings of 2010 and pray for the world, my country, my city and my family, friends, and those in need. Then I will hug my family and tell them I love them and celebrate having grown closer over the past year.
First I party then I pray to the white throne.
I will pray that while I'm partying the New Year in, that I will get home safe....
