“Waited or not… “

Children’s New Year’s Eve …

I remember some of my New Year’s Eve celebrations…

From my boyhood days…

 

Of course, it was a celebration with my older brother and parents…

The most important thing for me was that there was cake… And there was…

 

I loved šampita and baklava… my mom often made them…

We kids also got presents…

 

My cousin Helena from Osijek was also present at the celebration with her parents…

We had to dress up for the celebration, so I also put on new pants that my mom had sewn…

 

Out of excitement and happiness, right before New Year’s Eve, I crawled under my parents’ double bed… And crawled to the other side…

I was covered in dust…

 

Mom was very “happy”…

Afterwards, there were fireworks…

 

As young men, we celebrated New Year’s Eve in the company of our peers… In homes, cafes, restaurants, dormitories, in open public spaces…

With our partners, alcohol, …

People celebrate New Year’s for deep-rooted historical, religious, and psychological reasons that symbolize renewal and a new beginning.
The main reasons for the celebration include:

 

Historical heritage: The tradition of celebrating New Year is one of the oldest in the world, with its roots dating back to ancient Mesopotamia (about 4,000 years ago) and Babylon, where the beginning of the year was celebrated with the spring equinox as a symbol of the reawakening of nature.

 

Roman influence and the god Janus: Today’s date, January 1, was established by Julius Caesar in honor of the god Janus. Janus is a god with two faces – one looking into the past and the other into the future, which perfectly reflects the meaning of the transition from the old to the new year.

 

The psychological aspect of a “new leaf”: The celebration allows people to symbolically leave behind their failures and start over. Making New Year’s resolutions is a modern form of the ancient custom of making promises to the gods for a successful year.

Social bonding: It is a time to gather family and friends, strengthen community, and share good wishes for health and prosperity.

 

Natural cycles: Many cultures throughout history have tied the new year to astronomical and agricultural events, such as the flooding of the Nile in Egypt or the harvest, celebrating a secure existence and survival.

Although most of the world uses the Gregorian calendar, different cultures celebrate the beginning of the year at different times (e.g., Chinese New Year according to the lunar calendar), but the common theme is hope for a better future.

 

Fireworks and noise: Often used to ward off evil spirits and symbolize a noisy entry into the new year (e.g. banging pots in Australia).
Champagne/Sparkling wine: Symbolizes celebration and happiness, and Russians even drink ashes in it.

 

Wishes and superstitions: People hope for happiness, health, and love, using various rituals (writing wishes) to attract good things in the new year, according to this article.

 

Christmas tree: Originates from the Germans (Martin Luther) and symbolizes beauty and light, writes MamaKlik.

 

Old people’s New Year’s …

The older you get, the more you see that there’s nothing left of the welcome… Nothing new, nothing better…

You have dinner, eat cake, have a drink and go to bed…

 

And before midnight…

Because tomorrow is a new day, the same as the other day…

 

Children, with the support of their parents, throw tantrums and hurt themselves…

The consequences are permanent… Both for them and for adults, pets, nature, …
