There's a new years eve dinner, some wine, then we turn on every light in and outdoors, then we have do the countdown, then at 00:00 we must turn off the central switch of the electricity and then back on again (this makes more sense in cities when doing it in sync) then we have to open every door and window (so that the New Year can come in

) then everyone goes out at the balcony or the veranda to see the fireworks and in the same time we have to hug and kiss twice once on each cheek. Then we have to throw a pomegranate in the front of the door so that it breaks and seeds spill on the floor (this is for good luck) and then we are cutting the New Year's pie, we serve the champaign and we do the Xmas gifts exchange and unwrapping (they have been under the xmas tree all this time until now). Then it's basically a card game which is a version of Blackjack however the number that you win with is not 21, but 31 (cause of the day) and the last thing that you have to do is that the youngest member of the family (in our case me) has to walk out of the door, and then ring the bell to come in, but upon walking in you must come in with your right leg first and wish everyone Happy New Year. Then and only then you can do whatever you like.
