Here in America, New Year’s Eve celebrations usually end with ringing in the new year amid songs, laughter, fireworks and the dropping of the ball in New York Times Square. There are exceptions as with any rule. In addition, this tradition does not hold true around the world. There are some weird traditions going on somewhere tonight, even in America!
Happy New Year!

I like Option B – why do I like Option B??
LOL
Thanks for sharing these traditions – some of them are really funny! 🙂
I hope you have a marvelous New Year’s Eve? 😆 Is it already 2014 where you are now?
Yes, Sharla, it is. 🙂 For nearly 1 1/2 hours. 🙂
I found most of them absolutely ridiculous! 😆

Crazy huh?
Most of them, I could understand (more or less), but what’s with the possum????
I think beating the pots and pans is a universal way folks bring in the New Year. I remember my mom doing that in our back yard when I was just a little boy, and she never drank. LOL
