How do different countries
In Greece on New Year's Eve, the family
gather together at night and they have dinner
that normally includes turkey or duck stuffed
with rice, raisins and chestnuts. For desert, Happy N
we have a cake called “Santa's pie,” that has a
coin inside and we slice it for everyone and
whoever finds the coin will be lucky all year
long.
In France, for New Year’s Eve we usually
organise a dinner with family and friends. But
what’s important is at 23h59, when
everybody stands up and counts down until
it’s midnight. Then we all kiss each other,
wishes ourselves “bonne année et bonne
santé” (happy year and good health), of
course by toasting with Champagne.
