On New Year's Eve, people in Italy throw out all the old things.
So there are chairs, beds, clothes and plates in the streets. In Spain, New Year
comes more quietly. Everyone holds a bag of grapes. When twelve o'clock comes, people
start eating the grapes.
In Japan,
people eat noodles on New Year's Eve. This food is said to bring long life. Early
the next morning, some families climb Mount Fuji. There they watch the first sunrise
of New Year.
