New Year traditions vary around the world, often reflecting cultural values and beliefs. In many countries, people celebrate with fireworks, parties, and family gatherings. For example, in Japan, families often visit shrines to pray for good fortune in the coming year, while in Spain, it is customary to eat twelve grapes at midnight, one for each stroke of the clock. In Scotland, the celebration known as Hogmanay includes singing "Auld Lang Syne" and first-footing, where the first visitor to a home brings gifts for luck. Similarly, in Mexico, people celebrate with colorful decorations and special meals, often including tamales and champurrado.
