If the first guest is a man with dark hair, or a happy, happy and rich person, the host will be very lucky all the year round. If the first guest is a woman with light yellow hair, or a sad, poor and unfortunate person, then the host will be unlucky and will encounter difficulties and disasters in the new year. People who visit relatives and friends' homes on New Year's Eve should first stir the fire in the fireplace and wish the host "open the door" before speaking.

This kind of banquet is divided into "family banquet" and "group banquet", which usually starts at 8 pm on New Year's Eve and ends in the early morning of New Year's Eve. There are all kinds of wine, food and snacks at the banquet for people to drink all night. At midnight, people turn on the radio and listen to the New Year bell of the church clock. When the bell rang, people were beaming, toasting and singing "The Past". The "New Year's Eve Dance" is another celebration. Local hotels and dances, night arrival. People dressed in festive costumes came to these brightly decorated dance halls from all directions, dancing to the beautiful music, and thousands of people gathered in various squares, singing and dancing around the fountain and the statue of Cupid in the center of the square, and reveling endlessly. Television stations also broadcast live in the square, so that people who "keep the age" can also enjoy this joy.

Kissing the Street ―― British New Year

The legal holiday in Britain is January 1st every year. In most parts of Britain, the New Year is not prominent, because it belongs to the 12 day of Christmas.

However, in some parts of Scotland and northern England, people think that Christmas is just a day of family reunion, while New Year is a festival celebrated by the whole people, so they attach more importance to the New Year than Christmas.

In Scotland, when the night falls on New Year's Eve, people began to visit relatives, friends and neighbors yesterday, or get together at home, or in clubs and restaurants to celebrate the festival by drinking whiskey together.

At midnight, 12, all the church bells rang, and people cheered, hugged and kissed to celebrate the arrival of the New Year. Many people then poured into the streets, drinking whisky, singing the old Scottish folk song Auld Lang Syne, and dancing enthusiastic Scottish folk dances accompanied by music.

When the music stops, people hug and kiss each other and revel, whether they are familiar with each other or not. Many people often begin New Year greetings just after midnight. At that time, every household will open its doors wide, welcome anyone to visit, and bake a little brown bread in advance to entertain guests.

In addition, in some parts of Britain, people are used to breaking eggs and throwing them into clean water on New Year's Day, observing their shapes to predict the fate of the year, and then mixing them with white sugar and steaming them to show the sweetness of life in the new year.
