問題詳情:
New Year's Day is worth celebrating and you probably celebrate New Year's Day together with your family and friends, enjoying drinks and watching the ball drop. If you’re lucky, perhaps you share a kiss with that special one when the dock hits 00:00am. But how New Year's Day would look in another country? Listed below are four of the top ten “Unique New Year Traditions from Around the World.”
1. Breaking Dishes on Neighbor's Door----Denmark
A strange Danish New Year tradition, depending on how you look at it, is throwing dishes at neighbor's door. The family with the tallest tower of broken plates, glasses, cups and other crockery is considered to be the luckiest person because it symbolizes their large crowd of loyal friends.
2. Talking to Spirits-----Mexico
Mexicans strongly believe that they can communicate with the souls of their dead loved ones. New Year's Eve is considered the best time to communicate with dead spirits to convey a message or ask for guidance. Taos Inn, in New Mexico for example, offers 15 minutes session of spiritualism and deep thought for $15. Not a bad price for some helpful guidance!
3. Wearing Polka Dots—Philippines
Imagine people wearing polka dots and dining room tables full of round shaped food and fruits on one single day of the year in Phillippines. And they believe that this will bring them prosperity by associating the round dots to coins and wealth.
4. Burning Scarecrow Dummy----Ecuador
Ecuador has a custom of crafting scarecrows and burning them. As midnight approaches, gathering outside, each family bums their own scarecrow filled with newspapers and pieces of wood. The tradition says that this destroys all the bad things that took place in the past 12 months. The scarecrow also scares away bad luck, which in turn, fills their new year with luck and happiness.
The world is large but different. People of all nations may celebrate New Year's Day much differently, but a lot of general themes are to be seen. We all want to start a new, fresh year with renewed enthusiasm and hope no matter what happened during the past year. We all want to be happier, find love, renew friendships, increase our wealth and also hope for a little extra luck in the coming new year.
