New Year’s Customs
Trying to decide how to celebrate the new year? Here are some ways the locals celebrate in countries around the world:
Portugal: Eat 12 grapes for each strike of the clock at midnight for good luck.
Netherlands: Eat a ring shaped food such as a donut to “come full circle” in the new year.
Peru: Walk around the block with a suitcase to bring travels.
Italy: Wear red underwear for good luck. (They wear yellow in Peru!)
Japan: Ring bells to dispel evil temptations.
