HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Christmas is not celebrated the same way in every country. Let's analyze New Year's eve.

New Year's eve is the 31st of December. As the clock strikes 0:00, the entire world gets immersed in celebration.

  • In Span, people eat 12 grapes at every toll of the clock during the New Year. Spaniards believe that it will bring good luck and happiness for the coming 12 months.
  • In Denmark, people stand on chairs and jump from them at midnight. Some families also break the dishes they have just used during the dinner.
  • In Germany, people drop melted lead into cold water to see what shape is generated. The shape may predict the future: heart shapes symbolize marriage, round shapes denote good luck, anchor shapes tell that you need help and a cross signifies someone’s sad demise.
  • In Puerto Rico, people throw buckets of water out of their window in order to clean the odds of the last year as well as get the spirits out of the home.
