Traditions
On New Year's Eve, many people hold parties which last until
late into the night. It is traditional to greet the new year at midnight
and celebrate the first minutes of the year in the company of friends
and family. People may dance, sing, and drink a toast to the year ahead.
After the celebrations, it is time to make new year resolutions, and
these are a list of decisions about how to live in the coming year.
Horns are blown at midnight, and people hug and kiss to begin the new
year with much love and happiness.
In British Columbia, Canada, there is the traditional polar bear
swim. People of all ages put on their bathing suits, and plunge into the
icy cold water which surrounds Vancouver during the winter.
In our family, my husband and I used to either visit with friends or
go out to dinner, but now we stay home and watch the New Year
celebrations on television. We have chosen to do this because of all the
alcoholic drinking which is done, and even with road-blocks by the
police, we feel safer in our own home.
