"Oh the weather outside if frightful, but ooh the fire is so delightful" ❤️‍🔥🎼🎤

This very known verse of a holiday song actually doesn't just apply when it snows, it also applies when there are a lot of fireworks display outside 🎇, houses blasting music 🎼, cars ringing their alarms 🚨 , and people blowing their New Year's trumpets/horns 🎺. That is what New Years in Philippines is like.

In my country, it is a tradition that we welcome the new year with excitement, fun, and love. We are very superstitious, we believe that the more we express positivity in welcoming the new year, the more life doubles the positive energy and blessings back for that year. I believe some other countries practice it too. We also have this silly thing we do, when the clock hits midnight, we jump so many times believing we'll grow taller. Ah, to be a Pinoy. 🤣❤️

Aside from making the neighborhood wide awake from all the sounds we make, we also prepare a lot of food on the table. Well, food is like a universal language, it's not a celebration without one, everyone knows that. 👀

It might be a very loud New Year in the Philippines, like it's frightful, but it's something I'll definitely miss each year because the fun and love you share with your family is oh so delightful. 🫂❤️‍🔥

Happy Holidays, everyone 💖

P.S. You can try jumping, if you think you need it. hahaha just kidding.

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to all of you! ^^
🥳
If you are reading this, welcome to 2025! Woohoo!
New Years is a time of celebration all around the world, and it is no different in the UK.

🎇A lot of people work on New Years Eve, so we always look forward to a festive party at home or somewhere with friends. We gather together with our loved ones, eating lots of finger foods, playing board games, card games, listening to music and getting ready to count down to midnight.
London has some of the best New Year light shows, fireworks and street parties that you can find.
If you can't go there in person, then we usually watch it on TV during our parties at home.

🎡 We shout the big countdown "TEN, NINE, EIGHT, SEVEN, SIX, FIVE, FOUR, THREE, TWO, ONE, HAPPY NEW YEAR!".
London's skies will fill up with lights, fireworks will shoot up from boats on the River Thames and our large wheel, the London Eye, will shine bright and shoot more fireworks. The Big Ben bell in London will chime and DING DONG through the city as everyone cheers 🔔 It is common for us all to give a kiss to someone we love at midnight, to give luck and fortune for year.

🌟 On New Years Day, January 1st, each area of the UK likes to do something a little different.
Some areas like to go swimming in the sea, some like to go walking through the forest, some areas will go bird watching, and sometimes you might even see people doing a triathlon on New Years Day!

In Canada, New Years is a grand celebration! Students tend to be off school starting from a couple days before Christmas and will return a couple days after New Years. This break, usually called Christmas/New Years Vacation, is a time when many people enjoy making special dinners, creating New Year's resolutions, and lighting fire works and sparklers.

🍲It is common to have dinner parties or potlucks and bond over yummy food. At these parties, people like to spend time with each other to celebrate the year that has passed, the accomplishments one has achieved, and share well wishes for the upcoming year. Common Christmas foods include ham and mashed potatoes. Popular Christmas sweets include gingerbread houses/gingerbread men and eggnog. Kids enjoy decorating gingerbread houses and gingerbread men with candy, chocolate, and frosting, then eating it all when it's done!

📋The break from work and school offers the perfect opportunity to spend time with friends and family who many might not have had the opportunity to meet with due to busy schedules. It is also a great time to reflect upon the year that has passed, and to create a list of goals for the upcoming year. These goals, called New Year's Resolutions, help people plan on ways to grow and improve themselves. These goals can encompass a wide range of topics, from personal growth, educational growth, or career growth. For example, many people will have plans to exercise more, get accepted into a good university, or get a promotion from work. What will be on your New Year's resolution list for 2025?

🎆Lasty, we can't forget the fireworks! Many cities hold firework shows for people to enjoy at parks or large open areas. Even though it is very cold (and very snowy!), people like bundling up in many layers and bringing blankets and chairs to sit outside with friends and family to enjoy the fireworks. Usually there is a big countdown, counting down the seconds until it hits 12:00AM on January 1st. Right as the new year arrives, the firework show will start! On a smaller scale, some people also enjoy lighting sparklers or smaller fireworks from their backyards! This beautiful display is the perfect way to welcome the New Year!
