The New Year is celebrated in many different ways, at various times all around the world.

In Denmark, the New Year is celebrated on 1 January. Throughout the year, Danish people collect broken bits of china, which they smash against their friends’ door on New Year’s Eve as a sign of affection. The number of broken plates there are in front of one’s door symbolises how many friends they will have in the New Year.

In Sri Lanka, the New Year known as ‘Aluth Avurudhu’ is celebrated in mid-April. House cleaning, lighting of the hearth, and cooking auspicious dishes are a few of the rituals that take place during this time.

In New Zealand, many people will be taking part in Matariki festivities in July to celebrate the New Year.
