Different New Years Around The World

From food to various cultural practices, one thing is a certainty: No matter where or how we live, the one constant in all our lives is that of a new year, of a time blossoming out into spiritual and physical rebirth. We are the same yet we have refreshed ourselves. .
  • One of the best known symbols of the new year in the United States is the New Year's baby, a tradition brought to early America by the ancient Greeks (c. 600 BC) with a side trip though Germany.
  • Early Christians denounced the use of a baby as an act of paganism but since the concept of the baby as a symbol of rebirth was so popular with others, Christians were convinced to add their approval for the baby (in the body of the infant Jesus). Of course, it took many centuries to encompass the thought of a cute baby, complete with a top hat and diaper imprinted with the date of the incoming New Year.
As people are different, so are their ways of greeting the new year. Reaching back centuries, a great many of these celebrations involve food to insure a good, strong harvest. Many center around family and children.
  • In Russia, children can visit the New Year Tree at the Kremlin Palace of Congresses. This huge fir tree shimmers with an untold number of colored lights. The children can also attend a fairy tale play and to highlight the day, Grandfather Frost and his helper the Snow Maiden distribute gifts. Swedes celebrate the New Year by attending church services in the morning, followed by a big, joyous family dinner.

New Year Celebrations Chinese

Chinese New Year is traditionally the most important occasion within the Chinese community, celebrated as a family affair, a time of reunion and thanksgiving. As departed relatives are generally remembered with great respect because they were responsible for laying the foundation for the fortune of the family they are especially honored during this time of the year. This year, CNY fell on Thursday the 3rd of February. Until that particular day, in Singapore - where we live, it had been raining and storming continuously which caused the temperature to plummet close to +20 Degrees C - freezing! But on that morning, the sun was shining, a few drops of rain just to remind us all that rain season was now retreating, making way for blue skies, wind and +30 Degrees C.
The preceding days are filled with cleaning and scrubbing the house - sweeping out all 'old Energies' to make room for the new and fresh ones. Orange trees - from small to gigantic sizes - heavily laden with small kumquats are given to friends, business associates, neighbors etc. They always come in pairs and will be placed right and left outside the main door of the house. Bunches of pussy willows are a must in every house as they symbolize the coming of spring and the end of the long cold winter; often they are decorated with Chinese symbols of luck and prosperity - always in red and gold as these colors are associated with exactly that: luck and prosperity! 'ZhuanYin Zhu' - bamboo that invites good fortune - is another auspicious plant. The ability of repeatedly resprouting signifies ongoing business opportunities for the whole year; as numbers play a very important role in Chinese societies, they come in clusters of threes, fives, six or 10 - depending on the meaning one wants to convey to the recipient.
