NEW YEAR IN DIFFERENT COUNTRIES

There are many interesting traditions for celebrating New Year in different countries. 
In Scotland, for example, the Scottish families gather around the fire and symbolically burn all 
the hardships of the last year. When the clock strikes 12 times, the head of the family opens the 
door wide and, it is considered, that the New Year enters. Then the members of the family sit at 
the table and a happy holiday begins. If you visit Scotland in these days, be sure to bring a piece 
of ham, a bottle of whisky and a lamp of coal. Then in the coming year this house will be warm, 
fun and comfortable for everyone who lives here.  
In the USA, in New York,  thousands of people gather on the Time Square and celebrate this 
holiday together They congratulate each other with the happy New Year and sing the merry 
In Japan the bamboo and the pine branches are the symbols of a happy long life. All people write 
verses and even poems. Children draw beautiful ships and hide their drawings under the pillows.
They think that these ships can help them to realize their desires.
