As New Year's Eve approaches, many are opting for home celebrations over crowded events. Global traditions offer unique ways to welcome the new year. In Spain, eating 12 grapes at midnight is believed to bring good fortune for each month. Colombians and Mexicans run with empty suitcases to invite travel in the coming year. Denmark has a tradition of jumping off chairs or sofas at midnight to symbolically leave the old year behind and leap into the new.
