Christmas is now over and December is about to end, too. It’s that time of the year when there’s chill in the air and hope in people’s hearts, as a new year is just around the corner. New Year’s Eve on December 31 is one of the most widely celebrated occasions across the world and it symbolises fresh beginnings, renewed hope, and the promise of positive change. Most people celebrate New Year by spending quality time with their close friends and family by attending parties, hosting dinners, or participating in countdowns as the clock strikes midnight. Meanwhile, some cultures have traditional customs for the New Year. For example, in Spain eating 12 grapes at midnight on New Year’s Eve is considered to bring in good luck and love in the coming year. In Denmark, people throw old plates at their friends’ doors; they do this as it is believed to show their affection for their friends and also invite good fortune throughout the new year!
No matter how one celebrates the New Year, its essence remains the same– the New Year is all about connection, hope, and togetherness. It is also a reminder to heal, take up new opportunities and move forward in life.
