Hi friends!
In Brazil, New Year's Eve is very special and beautiful. Some people usually go out with friends or invite them to meet at home and have a delicious meal. In Rio de Janeiro, for exemple, many people (about two billion or more) go to Copacabana beach to watch the fireworks at midnight. Then, everyone dance all night because there are concerts with famous bands there.
Unfortunately, some of them don't know how to have fun and end up envolved in accidents, what is not good for their families. Here, many young people die in this season of the year. We see many trajedies happening around.
Let's enjoy this time and get the best out of it. It's time to celebrate!
Hello, Tara. I'm from Ukraine and tell some information about New Year in Ukraine. We celabrate in the night at 31 December - 1st January ( I dont understand why in the night For me its stupid tradition)) Whole day we cook, clean house, titivate tree (candy and toys). We have special dishes. There are salat, roast chiken and sweet, sure champagne and mandarins. After 12 pm everybody go out or call to friends to say Happy New Year, make a big salut and афт whole night. Its really good and friendly time when we have rest 1 week. After at 7 January we have Cristmas.
When I remembering my children year about New Year it were toys, gifts, salut and how I was waiting Deda Moroza (its like Santa Claus)))
Now I change my habits. Last Year I've been to Austria. Maybe in this Year I'll go to Egypt.
Thanks for this great reply! This is very helpful to me.

Hi Milana, you know, here in my country we also call friends to say Happy New year, but it's too much annoying to notice the network busier. we most of time call, hearing not our friends well. Even while using internet, it's too low. What we do is to send greetings 3 or 4days before to get no problem.
But you can also be lucky on having a good conversation with friends, without troubles :-)
