what do you eat or drink for the NEW YEAR in your country?

Hi,again cliff, In my country we often eat dumplings at the new year's day.. We drink the champagne at the new year's eve at the same time we watch the TV programe from the CCTV... This is just the case from my family.. Molly...-)

i was inbred on a small remote island on the northern most waters of Scotland. in our little community we will celebrate new year in 3 months as our year has 415 days in it. we start by lighting up the midnight darkness with the sacrifice of any peoples with only 5 fingers in each hand. my mother/auntie says this has always been the way and that having 7 fingers does increase my ability on the piano. after that we will relax drinking goats blood mixed with moonshine. after we have danced ourselves silly we will partake in the ceramony of the magic mushroom where we all get high as kites and make love to our cousins/sisters/sheep. then it is time to put our heads (or head if you are lucky enough only to have one) down for a kip. i guess we are no different from anywhere else.
