1

On the morning of New Year’s Day, some traditional families toss coins into a river. They believe this will bring them good luck throughout the coming year.

2

When the clock strikes 12, some people celebrate New Year’s Eve by eating twelve grapes – one for each month of the year, and for each chime of the clock’s bell. Sweet bread is baked with a coin hidden in the dough. New Year’s Eve is also considered the best time to communicate with dead spirits and ask them for guidance.

3

Farmers wish their livestock a happy New Year. They believe this brings good luck and good health.

4

Some people believe that if the first visitor (especially an unexpected one) on January 1 is a man, the year will be good.

5

People believe that the colour of their underwear on New Year’s Eve will determine their fate in the coming year. Yellow underwear will bring happiness and money. Red will bring love and passion. Green is for prosperity, pink is for friendship, white is for hope and peace. At this time of year, yellow underwear is in big demand.

6

Some people decorate their homes with straw ropes to ward off evil spirits and welcome good luck and happiness. Buddhist temples ring their bells 108 times at midnight.

7

Some people throw crockery at their neighbour’s door. The family with the largest pile of broken plates, glasses and cups is considered to be the luckiest because it means that they have lots of loyal friends.

8

People wear polka dots and prepare tables with twelve round-shaped fruits, for example grapes, oranges, melons and watermelons. They believe that this will bring prosperity as round shapes are associated with coins and wealth. At midnight, children jump as high as they can because they believe this will make them taller.
