New Year's Eve Traditions Around the World

Options staff and homeowners are a diverse group that come from all walks of life, different cultures and many different countries around the world.  We were intrigued when we saw these New Year's traditions and since you can't believe everything you read on the internet we thought we should ask you, our Options community, to confirm or deny whether or not there traditions exist where you come from.
