I love celebrating New Year’s. Each country has a different celebration. For example, in Spain, we eat the twelve grapes and we raise a toast with cava. In Mexico, people eat the lucky lentils and go out with an empty suitcase to attract many trips in the new year. How interesting! And in Germany, you can see many fireworks and toast with champagne in the street. This year, I'm staying at home. And you, how do you celebrate New Year’s?
