Celebrations around the World




New Year In Philippines

The new year in Philippines is quite unique. Filipinos are known to have a variety of beliefs, traditions and one way to celebrating New Year. In the Philippines is by setting lots an lots of fireworks even days before New Year.
At midnight Filipino Families gather together and eat a midnight meal, a belief that would ensure plenty of food in the coming year. Filipino children follow a custom of jumping up and down twelve times believing that they would grown taller in the coming year. They believes that banging on pots and pans and sounding off car horns and car alarms is the safest method of merrymaking on New Year. They truly believes that displaying of colorful round fruits an wearing clothes whit dots and other circular designs would bring luck as they all symbolizes money.
