Use Netflix to trick your kids into going to sleep earlier this New Years Eve

Happy New Year, parents! Netflix has a gift for you — six different themed countdowns to get your kids jazzed for 2016 and off to bed at a reasonable hour.

This is probably the biggest gift you will get tonight besides a babysitter. Think about it, in the days of your youth you had to sit and actually watch the live broadcast to see the ball drop and ring in the new year. This is 2015, nearly 2016! You have technology on your side.

Flip on Netflix. Plop your kiddos in front of the screen. Let them watch the one to three minute countdowns and send them off to bed.

2016 will still be there when they wake up.
