New Year in different countries

New year is an international holiday, but in different countries it is celebrated in different way

But to the Icelandic kids Santa Claus can look every day from 1 to 24 December. Knowing this, many try to behave, because they know that they can find in your holiday stocking the usual raw potato instead of a gift

 In Sweden, the New Year's Eve decided to give each other homemade candles as light is a symbol of joy and fun. Swedish Pope sent out the garbage, and returned in the form of the local Santa Claus, which in Sweden is called Yul Tomte.

In Austria, people on New Year's Eve in Vienna go to the cathedral of St. Stephen. On December 31, thousands of people gather at Cathedral Square. In the old days the same in this country was considered a good omen to meet a chimney sweep, to touch him and get dirty. It was believed that it brings good fortune and luck. In Austria, on New Year's decided to give porcelain or glass pigs, often in the form of a piggy bank. According to local customs, such pigs must necessarily bring wealth to whom they donated.
