Most of these spend the nights celebrating boisterously, lit in fireworks and merry get-togethers for others or in calm individual reflection. Regardless of what one has used to express celebration, New Year’s Eve epitomizes both the notion of letting go of what was and entering a new one. In multiple cultures, the night itself has been known for certain ritual aspects; for example, unique dishes meant to impart good luck have been served, or people have formulated resolutions for the new year. This only shows that most people all over the globe share one common hope: a better future filled with opportunities and growth.
