English Original
It was hectic in the Jenson household the day before New Year's Eve. They were preparing to travel from London to England to celebrate with extended family. Francesca (Franny) and Samantha (Sam) were finishing their packing whilst Michael (Mick) loaded the car.
They were staying with Barbara's (Babs's) sister, Louesha, in her large 16-bedroom house. The girls were excited to see their cousins: Becky, Louise, Phiona, Debbie, and Amanda. Mick, Babs's friend, and his son Peter (Podge) were also joining. Podge was particularly eager to meet Simon, a cousin his own age.
Packing was a struggle. Franny was annoyed at leaving makeup behind, and Sam was upset she couldn't bring her slingshot or filthy old trainers. After some bickering, they finally loaded up. In the car, Franny read a magazine, Sam listened to music, and Podge played Gameboy until he fell asleep.
During the journey, the sisters chatted excitedly about reuniting with their cousins and sharing gossip.
They arrived first at Aunt Louesha's. After tea, other family members trickled in throughout the afternoon. The final arrivals were Grandpa Timothy with Simon and baby Hannah. Once everyone was there, Aunt Louesha laid down house rules in the lounge.
The kids settled into their shared rooms. That evening, they entertained themselves with videos, manicures, and games until they unpacked and chatted themselves to sleep.
The next day, after breakfast, the groups split up: some went shopping, others checked their secret treehouse, and Podge and Simon played video games. Everyone regrouped for tea, though the treehouse group was late and scolded.
An evening garden party preceded the midnight fireworks. As Uncle Oliver lit the display, Podge ran too close. A firework grazed his finger, causing a panic. He was rushed to casualty by Mick, Babs, and Grandpa Frank.
After the shock, the exhausted children gradually went to bed. The next morning at breakfast, Podge returned with a bandaged hand. After a few hours, goodbyes were said, and the families parted, already looking forward to next New Year's Eve.

新年前夕的前一天，詹森家一片忙乱。他们正准备从伦敦出发去英格兰与大家族共度新年。弗朗西斯卡（弗兰妮）和萨曼莎（萨姆）在收拾最后几件行李，而迈克尔（米克）则在往车里装东西。
他们将住在芭芭拉（巴布斯）的姐姐路易莎家，她有一栋拥有16间卧室的大房子。女孩们兴奋地期待着见到表亲们：贝基、路易丝、菲奥娜、黛比和阿曼达。巴布斯的朋友米克和他的儿子彼得（波吉）也一同前往。波吉特别渴望见到与他同龄的表兄西蒙。
打包是个麻烦事。弗兰妮为要留下化妆品而恼火，萨姆则因为不能带上她的弹弓或那双脏兮兮的旧运动鞋而不高兴。一番争吵后，他们终于装车出发。车上，弗兰妮看杂志，萨姆听音乐，波吉玩Gameboy直到睡着。
途中，姐妹俩兴奋地聊着与表亲们重聚和分享八卦的情景。
他们最先到达路易莎阿姨家。喝完茶后，其他家庭成员在整个下午陆续到来。最后到达的是蒂莫西爷爷，他带着西蒙和小婴儿汉娜。人到齐后，路易莎阿姨在客厅宣布了家规。
孩子们住进了分配好的房间。那天晚上，他们用看录像、做美甲和玩游戏来消遣，直到打开行李收拾好，聊着天进入梦乡。
第二天早餐后，孩子们分头活动：一些人去购物，另一些人去查看他们的秘密树屋，波吉和西蒙则玩电子游戏。大家聚在一起喝茶，不过树屋小组迟到了，挨了一顿训。
午夜烟花前的晚上，花园里有个派对。奥利弗舅舅点燃烟花时，波吉跑得太近了。一枚烟花擦伤了他的手指，引起一阵恐慌。米克、巴布斯和弗兰克爷爷急忙将他送往急诊室。
这场惊吓过后，精疲力尽的孩子们陆续上床睡觉。第二天早餐时，波吉手上缠着绷带回来了。几小时后，大家互道再见，各家陆续离开，已经开始期待下一个新年前夜的相聚。
