| |because it is the night that can bring them the love of their life. They|

| |of bad luck. |
|[pic] |A strange and weird New Year tradition in Denmark is breaking the dishes|
| |at neighbor’s door. Strangely this makes them happy instead of annoying |
| |them. The family with the hugest tower of broken plates, glasses, cups |
| |and other crockery is considered to be the luckiest one because it means|
| |that they have lots of loyal friends. |
|[pic] |Talking to spirits is a part of Mexican belief. Mexicans strongly |
| |believe that they can communicate with the souls of their dead loved |
| |ones. New Year eve is considered the best time to communicate with the |
| |dead spirits to convey a message or ask for guidance. |
|[pic] |Imagine streets full of people wearing polka dots and dinning table full|
| |of round shaped food and fruits on one single day of the year. This all |
| |actually happens in Philippine on the New Year eve every year. |
| |Philippines believe that this will bring them prosperity by associating |
| |the round dots to coins and wealth. |
|[pic] |A dangerous Scottish festival around the New Year is the festival of |
| |Hogmanay. This festival takes place on the 31st of December every year. |
| |Men parade through the streets holding blazing balls of fire. They |
| |continuously swing these balls over their heads. According the locals, |
| |the balls of fire bring purification and sunshine. This celebration |
| |dates back as far as the Vikings. |
|[pic] |Ecuador has a unique custom of making scarecrows and burning them at |
| |midnight. They dress up and fill the scarecrows with newspapers and |
| |pieces of wood. As mid night approaches, everyone gathers outside their |
| |home and each family burns their scarecrow. The tradition says that this|
| |destroys all the bad things that took place in the past 12 months. The |
| |scarecrow also scares bad luck. This fills their New Year with luck and |
| |happiness. |
|[pic] |Imagine you are made to watch the same programme or show every year on |
| |New Years eve. Same dialogues, same script and nothing new. Is this fun |
| |or torture? In Germany this weird practice is carried by the Germans |
| |since 1972. Every single year, on midnight Germans watch the British |
| |show “Dinner for One.” The origin of the tradition is unknown, but the |
| |Germans actually enjoy watching this show. |
|[pic] |Talca is a small town in Chile with a very strange, weird and freaky New|
| |Year custom. The people of Talca celebrate the new year with their dead |
| |relatives in the cemetery. People are welcomed in the cemetery with |
| |light classical music and dim blinking lights making the cemetery are |
| |perfect party place. They believe that their loved ones wait for them in|
| |the cemetery and they should start the new year with them. The tradition|
| |began in 1995, when a local family jumped the cemetery fence to spend |
| |New Year’s near their father’s grave. Now over 5,000 people have adopted|
| |this tradition. |
|[pic] |It’s a tradition in America to share a sweet midnight kiss with your |
| |girlfriend or boyfriend or with anyone in case you don’t have one. This |

| |fate from the past and marks the beginning of a New Year full of love |
| |and life. A famous movie, “In Search of A Midnight Kiss” is themed on |
| |this New Year Ritual. |
