Since it's nearly New Year's Eve I thought I would share some traditions from a few countries around the world.
In Brazil wave jumping is a popular way to bring in the year,making a wish for each of 7 waves and to further enhance your luck it is best to wear white.
Mexico greets the New Year by taking an empty suitcase for a walk to bring travel and new experiences.
South Africa chucks unwanted furniture and appliances out the window to give them a fresh start.
Burning scarecrows that look like a person you dislike in Ecuador allows you to forgive and forget in the coming year.
In several countries wearing red or yellow underwear is essential to bringing good luck in the New Year and most traditions specify the underwear needs to be new,so check your local customs to make the right selection for your area!
