New Years Eve Scotland style<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If you want to see a big celebration for New Year’s Eve, Scotland<\/strong> is an absolute must. Hogmanay<\/strong>\u2014as New Year’s Eve is widely known in Scotland\u2014is never anything less than an event. Head into the cities, and there will be all kinds of parties and celebrations going on, and if you head into some of the smaller towns, you’ll find a lot of local traditions. One town in particular called Stonehaven has an incredible procession through the town. This dramatic event sees up to 12,000 spectators and 45 locals march through the coastal town whirling large balls of flames to bring in the New Year. The event starts at around 11 pm and begins with pipers and drummers, and then just before midnight, a lone piper leads the fireball bearers through the town. After raging well into the wee hours, relax and recuperate in an incredible riverside cottage rental in the stunning Scottish countryside. Be aware that due to COVID-19 Edinburgh’s Hogmanay events have been canceled this year as part of tough new Covid rules in Scotland. All outdoor events will be limited to just 500 people to help slow the spread of Omicron.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nPhoto from Stonehaven Fireballs<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nEating 12 grapes: Spain at New Year 2021<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If you spend New Year’s Eve 2021 in Spain<\/a>, you’ll find that it’s one of those fortunate places where New Year’s Eve is more of an interlude than the final act of the show. Christmas for the Spanish keeps going until January 6th with the celebration of Epiphany. However, that doesn’t mean that New Year isn’t a big deal. Before heading out to celebrate the new year, the tradition in Spain is to eat 12 grapes at midnight<\/strong>, one for each stroke of the bell. This can obviously lead to a mouthful of grapes if you don’t keep up, but with it being both a tradition and a superstition in Spain, rare is the Spaniard who’d risk not eating their 12 grapes. Spain has celebrated this tradition for over 100 years, possibly since the late 19th century, and if you see off all 12 grapes\u2014any left in your mouth do not count!\u2014 then you’ll have good luck for the rest of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPhoto from Devour Barcelona<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nColombian traditions and travel goals: bring out your suitcase!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Colombia boasts a somewhat unusual custom for New Year’s Eve. There are several Colombian traditions<\/strong> for New Year’s Eve, but one of the more unusual ones is to walk around the block with an empty suitcase. The end goal for this is to ensure all the travel you want to achieve the following year becomes a reality. If you have travel goals<\/strong> for 2022, perhaps you should grab your favorite luggage and take it for a leisurely stroll around the block, and you can also start planning an epic glamping adventure in Colombia<\/a> to explore the jungle, mountains, unique cities or even rent your own private island<\/a> to really get away from it all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nStrange traditions around the world: New Year in Peru and the Takanakuy Festival<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Of the strange traditions around the world<\/strong> for New Year, in Peru, you are sure to find the most bizarre in a small village in the Chumbivilcas Province near Cusco. If you’re one to hold a grudge, then maybe the Takanakuy Festival<\/a><\/strong>, held at the end of December each year would be one of the top things to do on New Year’s Eve. To start the New Year with a clean slate, the villagers engage in a fistfight with anyone they have a grievance with, and then it is considered done and dusted with the start of January. We have to stress the point, however, that we would not recommend this as a way to settle your differences with family, friends or tricky colleagues; maybe stick to a quiet drink and a civil conversation, and leave this tradition in Peru.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPhoto from Cord Magazine<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nHave a smashing time with Danish traditions for New Year’s Eve, 2021<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If you’re really eager to relieve some stress, but like us, you think going to the extremes of the Takanakuy Festival is a step too far, maybe you should plan a getaway to Denmark<\/a>, one of many great places to go for new years eve with family. Danish traditions like this particular New Year’s Eve tradition are also a great way to get rid of any crockery and glassware you may wish to clear your house of. On New Year’s Eve, the Danes go to the houses of their friends and family to smash old plates and glasses that have been stockpiled in the days leading up to New Year’s Eve on their front doors. While this sounds like an unfriendly approach to celebrating the New Year, the bigger the pile of smashed plates outside your door, the more luck you’ll have in the coming year!<\/p>\n\n\n\nPhoto from Tradish<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nFarmers in Belgium: New Year’s Eve in Belgium<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
