1. In this country New Year’s Eve is a time for entertainment. Many people go to parties and balls. Thousands of people gather in Times Square and watch the “Big Apple” fall. The “Big Apple” isn’t a real apple. At one minute before midnight, it drops slowly from the top of one of the buildings. People count down at the same time as the “Big Apple” drops. When it reaches the bottom, sirens sound, fire-crackers explode, and people shout “Happy New Year!”

(Italy, the USA, Russia)

2. The celebration of New Year is the most popular annual festival in this country. At midnight the bell rings out 108 times as a reminder of the 108 commandments of Buddha. Every person gets new clothes and takes three days off from work to visit his friends. Each door is decorated with green pines, bamboos, red lobsters, crabs, standing for long life and happiness.

(Japan, Italy, Canada)

3. People call New Year’s Day “Hogmanay”. They visit their friends’ houses just after midnight on the New Year’s night. It is believed that to be the first one in a house on New Year’s Day brings good luck. The house will be lucky if the first visitor is a dark tall man. The darker he is the better.

(The USA, Scotland, India)

4. This country is sometimes called “the upside down world”. It lies in the Southern Hemisphere. During Christmas holidays people often sunbathe on the beach or swim and surf in the ocean. On the 31st of December many people go to the country for the picnic. In January the temperature ranges from 20 to 30 C above zero or higher.

(Egypt, Ireland, Australia)

5. In this country it can be dangerous to have a walk at night at the end of December. People usually throw the old things from the house through the window: broken cups and plates, old clothes and boots and sometimes different pieces of furniture, believe that on the New Year’s Eve the magician Befaniya comes to the houses through the chimney and put the presents for the children in their stockings or shoes.

(France, Italy, Germany)

6. New Year’s festivals last for two weeks. People prepare for celebrations by cleaning houses, paying debts and closing shops. The most exciting event is the “Parade of the Lanterns”, headed by a huge dragon which is carried through the streets. As New Year’s gifts, oranges are given as a symbol of good health.
