Happy New Years Eve!  Dec. 31, 2023

It"s time for the final countdown! New Year"s Eve is celebrated tonight in many countries to see out the old year and hope for the promises of the new one. The traditions of different nations can be quite creative when it comes to saying farewell to the year. If you"re not in Canada watching the dazzling display of fireworks over Niagara Falls, you might smash crockery in Denmark, stuff your mouth with grapes for the countdown in Spain or hang onions outside your door in Greece. Celebrators in Thailand might visit a temple for good luck or watch the fireworks illuminating Phra Nakhon Khiri, also known as the "holy city hill," based in the historical park of the same name. Wherever you celebrate, have a great one. See you next year!
