New Year Customs and Traditions Old and New
Why do we Celebrate the New Year?
Whatever the custom, whatever the country, no matter when or where we live, the New Year signifies a new start, a new life. We take the opportunity to throw out the mistakes of the past year and start anew. We wish each other good luck and promise ourselves to do better in the coming twelve months. Church bells ring, car horns blare, people shout, sing out loud and throw confetti at the stroke of midnight to drive away evil spirits. Happy New Year!
