Happy New Year!

DVRs are great.
It's approaching midnight, and we turn on the TV, only to discover it's already into the final minute and we aren't ready with drinks and such! What to do?! Someone shouts "quick, pause it!" and someone else grabs the remote and freezes time, with 26 seconds remaining! We calmly pour the drinks and get ready, then permit time to resume passing at it's normal rate, as we count down and celebrate the coming of the new year!
