My best friend told me of this tradition his family does for new years. When midnight hits, they'd shake a bag of coins to bring financial luck in the new year.
I don't know if this is a normal tradition in his country or just something they do. most likely the latter I think. But I always found it charming.

My only consistent new year tradition was drinking sparkling white grape juice. but other activities differed.
My family doesn't take part in many traditional things when it comes to holidays, which might be why I have such a strong interest in making my own or checking out what others do! For myself, I always make sure to set a healthy mindset on new years day. I decide what that focus should be on eve usually, and just hold it in hopes to bring more positivity in my year. I also try to be productive with art or work.

Like Mousy's word of the year thread :D

Anyway, what traditions do you have/want to adopt? Or just find interesting

I watched the NYC countdown on stream this year just to make it feel more the same as before haha

that's what my family would do

I never went to parties or anything

Forgot to ask — what country is that tradition from, if you don’t mind answering? Totally cool if you’d rather not say, I know some people are private.

I didn't make it to midnight... I fell asleep, but I did wake up to fireworks, went to the bathroom and crawled into bed. Then I woke up at 3am cuz our upstairs neighbors came home very noisily than normal(you can hear them pace the floors, but last night was worse.) And I never went back to bed and surprisiling I am wide awake, not tired and have energy up the wazoo.

Normal traidtion is to sit around and watch movies/tv, eating snacks and some wine.

When I was a kid my Mom and I and a friend used to sit around and do the same(only since we were kids we got sparking fake wine), and had to wake my friend up around midnight every year cuz she never made it.
