The Coney Island Polar Bear Club’s annual New Year’s swim looks like a great time. People in costumes, swimming, having fun.

It seems that a massive undertaking like a New Year’s Eve Special was a little more than independent, LA-based television station KDOC could handle. Really. It definitely was.

It's true the holidays are easily the greatest time of year, but it can also be the most exhausting. After so much preparation, it sort of feels like we want to nap for weeks. It also doesn't help that we ate our weight in ham and stuffing and chocolate, so we're currently nursing a major food hangover. But it's time to rally, people!

Rather than welcoming in 2012 with pictures of sloppy drunks in diapers, however, let’s instead focus on actual babies. They’re much cuter and don’t scream “Party!” every few minutes.
