Another year is coming!Time to forget the past,have a new start and party!
People started celebrating the New Year about 4,000 years ago in Egypt．But New Year's Day wasn't on January 1st until 46 BC!
During that year,Julius Caesar,the leader of the Roman Empire,made a new calendar．It made January 1st become New Year's Day．
Today people celebrate the day in many different ways．
In the U．S,people have parties on December 31st,New Year's Eve．The biggest party is in Times Square,New York．There,at 11∶59pm,a ball drops slowly down one of the buildings．It hits the ground at 12am,lighting a sign reading“Happy New Year”．It also sets off fireworks．
Denmark has the strangest celebrations．There,on New Year's Eve,people throw plates at their friends' homes as a sign of friendship!
The Spanish also celebrate the New Year strangely．At 12am everybody eats 12 grapes!Why?Because they think the grapes will bring them good luck．
Why don't you try eating some this New Year's Eve?
