| Different people from different nations from all around the world all have something in common. They all celebrate New Year! Most countries across the globe celebrate New Year on January 1. Celebrations begin on New Year’s Eve, December 31st. Hotels, restaurants, clubs and pubs organize New Year’s Eve balls and parties. People sing, dance and make merry. As New Year’s falls at the peak winter time in many countries, bonfires are lit to keep the people warm. And just when the clock strikes midnight firecrackers are burst to welcome the advent of New Year. People greet ‘Happy New Year’ with a warm hug to every one around them. People wear fresh new clothes and clean up their house. Many prefer to spend this day in the company of their family members and dear ones. It is also very common to visit friends and exchange New Year Gifts and greetings with them. There is also a trend of going out for picnics or to exotic tourist destinations to celebrate the day.
One of the most popular New Year custom is to make New Year Resolution. A New Year’s resolution or a commitment is done to make your new year a better one. Some people make resolutions to reform a habit, then there are people who want to make changes in their lifestyle. These promises are made on New Year’s Day, the first day of a brand new year. Traditional New Year foods are also thought to bring luck. Many cultures believe that anything in the shape of a ring is good luck, because it symbolizes “coming full circle,” completing a year’s cycle. With a new year starting, it can’t be avoided that there are also a few unusual traditions some people do during new year’s eve. One of this relates to wearing a yellow underwear! You are supposed to buy a pair and right after midnight, run and change into your new yellow underwear. Wearing yellow underwear on New Year’s Day supposedly brings you good luck. Another unusual tradition some people are doing on New Year’s Eve is going “Polar Bear Diving”. This unusual New Year’s tradition is also supposed to bring you better luck during the New Year.
