New Year's

Germans Celebrate the New Year too, and same as Americans they either have a party, go to a party, or celebrate with close friends and family. Even though Germans don't watch the big ball drop in Times Square or watch other big TV countdowns, they still have other ways of having fun. A special New Year's dinner is cooked and a long dinner is eaten with lots of conversation, at midnight the exciting part happens, fireworks are lit off by every house. There are more fireworks lit off in Germany on New Years then in the USA on the Fourth of July. Fireworks are being lighten off for about 30 or more minutes; it is one of the most amazing experiences one can ever have staring up at the sky.

Marzipan pigs are given to people for luck, especially on New Year's!
