What's Your New Year's Tradition

I wouldn't classify what we do to celebrate New Year’s as tradition. We just go out and celebrate with friends and family. We make noise, drink too much (maybe), eat too much (for sure) and some of us spend a lot of money to go to a fancy club or hotel for a party of virtual strangers.

We do have the tradition of making resolutions which is a good idea, except for the downer after your first screw up. And we weren't even the first to do that: "the most popular resolution of early Babylonians was to return borrowed farm equipment."

Here are some real traditions that make us look pretty simple:

  • Moslems celebrate the New Year by wearing new clothes.
  • Southeast Asians release birds and turtles to assure themselves good luck in the twelve months ahead.
  • Hindus leave shrines next to their bed so they can see beautiful objects at the start of the New Year.
  • The Scots celebrate Hogmanay and visit friends with gifts of food and drink.
  • Japanese prepare rice cakes at a social event the week before the New Year and on New Year’s they give out colorful little envelopes with money in them, called otoshidama, to children.

Okay. I say let's move to Japan! E-mail us your New Year’s Resolutions (of past and present) and Traditions. We’ll share them with everyone else.
