This is a really cool video -- here's your chance to watch almost 40 years of New Years Eve ball drops from Times Square in about 15 minutes.

This video starts with the ringing-in of 1976 and goes all the way up to 2014. Over those almost four decades, it's amazing to see how much the ball has changed and how much Times Square has changed.

Happy New Year!
