New Year's Traditions and Customs
Lingard
Alice and Tom share their family's New Year's traditions, revealing a tapestry of rituals that symbolize new beginnings and good fortune. Alice's family writes and burns wishes in a fireplace, a magical ritual, while Tom's family rings bells at midnight to ward off evil spirits. Opening the front door at midnight is another of Alice's family customs, signifying the departure of the old year and welcoming the new. On New Year's Day, Alice's family enjoys a revitalizing morning walk, whereas Tom's family watches the parade on TV over a leisurely breakfast. These diverse traditions, despite their differences, underscore a common theme of family togetherness and celebration of a fresh start.
