New Year — Tradition of Different Countries, Through The Eyes of Numerous People And How Is It Celebrated In Japan

Russian folk wisdom says — how many heads, so many opinions. The same can be said about the various New Year traditions of residents of different countries of the world.

In Hungary, for example, on New Year’s Eve, it is impossible to find children’s whistles, socks, pipes in the afternoon with fire. Why are there so many children, or are Hungarian children so fond of music? You ask.

Well, I do not! It’s just that, according to the traditions of these people, any harmful spirits cannot stand (excuse the pun) the piercing sounds of these instruments and just fly away in different directions at the speed of light.

Well-being and joy, on the contrary, appear in dwellings, attracted by the same sounds.

On New Year’s Eve, you just have to eat a pea in Latvia. This is the only way to get what you want in the new year.

In some villages of France, 100 years ago, there was such an amusing tradition: the hostess, who was the first to take water from the spring, had to leave there a pie baked with her own hands.
