Almost all cultures celebrate the end of one year and the beginning of another year in some ways. Different cultures celebrate the beginning of a new year in different ways, and at different times on the calendar. 

In western countries,people usually celebrate New Year's Day from the midnight on December 31st to the morning of January 1^st. People may go to the party, sometimes dressing in formal(正式的) clothes, and they may drink champagne (香槟) at midnight. During the first minute of the new year, people cheer and wish each other happiness for the year ahead. But some cultures like to celebrate the New Year's Day by walking up early to watch the sunshine better. They welcome the new year with the first light of the sunrise.

Many cultures also do special things to say goodbye to bad luck at the beginning of the new year. For example, in Ecuador,families make a big doll and burn it to show the bad things from the past year are gone and the new year can start. There are also other common traditions that can keep away bad luck in the new year,such as throwing things into rivers or seas, or saying special things on the first day of the new year and so on. 

People around the world think some new year traditions can bring good luck in the new year. One widespread Spanish tradition for good luck is to eat grapes on New Year's Day. The more grapes a person eats, the more good luck the person will have in the year. In France, people eat pancakes for good luck on the New Year's Day. In the United States, some people eat black-eyed peas for good luck -- but to get good luck for a whole year you have to eat 365 of them.
