At the first minutes of the new year, people cheer and wish each other happiness for the year ahead. But some cultures may celebrate the new year by waking up early to watch the sunrise. They welcome the new year with the first light of the sunrise.
It is also a common Western custom to make a New Year’s promise called a resolution. New Year’s resolutions usually include promises to try something new or change a bad habit in the new year.
Many cultures also do special things to get rid of bad luck at the beginning of a new year. For example, in Ecuador, families make a big doll from old clothes. The doll is filled with old newspapers and firecrackers. At midnight, these dolls are burned to show the bad things from the past year are gone. The new year can start afresh.
