Listed below are some unique New Year traditions around the world. Breaking Dishes at a Neighbor’s Door An odd Danish New Year tradition is throwing dishes at a neighbor’s door. Strangely, this makes them happy instead of annoying them. The family with the tallest tower of broken plates, glasses, cups and other crockery is considered to be the luckiest person because it symbolizes their large number of loyal friends. Talking to Spirits Talking to spirits is a part of Mexican belief. Mexicans strongly believe that they can communicate with the souls of their dead loved ones. New Year’s Eve is considered the best time to communicate with dead spirits to convey a message or ask for guidance. And this is not done at home on an individual basis but a legal Mexican practice. Eating Grapes at Midnight In Spain, the countdown to the New Year is a unique experience. As the clock strikes midnight, people quickly eat 12 grapes, one for each ringing sound. Each grape represents a month of the year, and consuming them all is said to bring good luck in the coming months. Throwing flowers into the ocean In Brazil, New Year’s Eve is celebrated with great passion on the beaches. Many people wear white, which is believed to bring peace and good fortune. At midnight, they make offerings to the goddess of the sea, by throwing flowers into the ocean. 1.What does breaking dishes at a neighbor’s door represent in Denmark? A. Power. B. Wealth. C.
