The British believe that if there is no leftover wine and meat, there will be poverty in the coming year. In addition, the custom of "drawing well water" in the New Year is popular in the UK. People strive to be the first to draw water, believing that the first person to draw water is a happy person and the water drawn is auspicious water. =France: Celebrate the New Year with wine. People start drinking and partying from New Year's Eve until January 3rd. The French believe that the weather on New Year's Day is a sign of what the new year will be like. Early in the morning on New Year's Day they would go to the streets to look at the wind direction for divination: if the wind blew from the south, it would indicate good weather and a peaceful and hot year; if the wind blew from the west, it would mean a bumper year for fishing and milking; if the wind blew from the east, there would be a high yield of fruit; and if the wind blew from the north, it would mean a poor harvest. =Italy: New Year's Eve in Italy is a night of carnival. As night falls, thousands of people flock to the streets, lighting firecrackers and fireworks, and even firing real guns. Men and women danced until midnight. Every household cleans up old things, smashes some breakable items in the house, and throws all the old pots and bottles out of the door to get rid of bad luck and worries. This is their traditional way of saying goodbye to the old year and welcoming the new year. =Switzerland: Swiss people have the habit of doing fitness on New Year's Day. Some of them go hiking in groups, stand on the top of the mountain facing the ice and snow, and sing loudly about the good life; some ski along the long snow trails in the mountains and forests, as if looking for the road to happiness; some hold stilt-walking competitions, with men, women, old and young all taking part, wishing each other good health. They welcome the new year by doing fitness. =Spain: On New Year's Eve, all family members get together to celebrate with music and games. Midnight arrived, as soon as the clock struck twelve, everyone began to scramble to eat grapes. If you can eat 12 pills according to the sound of the bell, it symbolizes that everything will go well in every month of the new year. |
