7pm in Tokyo - New Years Eve

What do Japanese folks do on new years eve then? Many spend it at home with family eating and watching new-years-eve TV and then head out to the shrines to receive blessings of good fortune for the following year.
We will leave here at about 11:15PM for the nearest shrine and flock with thousands of others from the neighborhood. This is what it was like last year.

Photo of our new years eve dinner - wonton, Alaska crab with garlic butter. Yum.
What are you doing this new years eve?
