New Year’s Eve is a different time for people in different countries.

In England, we usually have a party with our friends and family. We turn the TV on and wait for Big Ben to hit 12. We form a circle and sing a very old song. And then we all wish each other “Happy New Year”. We make New Year’s resolutions, too. For example, travel more or spend more time with family.

In Spain, when the clock hits 12, people eat 12 grapes. Twelve grapes means the 12 months in a year. It is believed that if you eat the grapes, you will have good luck for the whole year.
