How do people celebrate
New Year around the world?
...in Venezuela?
In my country, people usually
wear yellow underwear on New Year's Day. It means good luck for people
who wear it.
Most people also eat twelve
grapes at midnight for good luck. People who want to travel take a suitcase
and carry it around the house. Some people write wishes in a letter, and
then they burn it. In almost every house, people have a big meal and make
toasts with champagne. (Nakari Barrios)
New Year's Day is a special
date in our country just as it is everywhere in the world.
We always celebrate this
special date by drinking champagne and having a big family dinner. This
kind of celebration has been a tradition for many years. Furthermore, many
people think that this special day brings good luck, and many of them wear
yellow underwear to have good luck in the new year. We also write a letter
asking for many wishes, and when the New Year comes, we put all those papers
together and burn them to make sure that nobody can read what we wrote.
Many kids play with artificial fires, and they are given many gifts. (Luis
Schiavo)
