NYE traditions - Open Yayayayayya!!!

Here I usually have a small gathering & we listen to our favourite music from the past year whilst getting quite merry
Don't really have a first of *new year* tune really. It's all quite random.
Although, saying that, I do like to play New Day the following morning. Anything that's not that flaming U2 song or that ABBA song.
While they're both okay songs, they are way too overplayed & I'm frankly quite sick of hearing them for the trillionth time.

As for "traditional" traditions, in Hungary people will eat lentil soup (the lentils represent coins/ good fortune) & virsli (pron veershlee). Although buggered if I know what virsli represents.
We don't eat anything that swims or has wings as it represents wealth swimming or flying away.

Nope. That song is irredeemably ruined. Even cover versions (which are mercifully limited in number) will make me reach for the stop/ off switch.
Other music is available.

The banging is really stressful for dogs, they should put a desibel limit to the new year bombs, or ban them altogether.

I just remembered a sorta NYE superstition, when I was young, my group of friends would say that if you didn’t kiss someone on NYE you’d be cursed with bad luck all year long ! Ha ha!

I have no idea what I kissed last night but I woke up feeling like cr@p
