Do not know where it is better to meet next year? Why not celebrate the New Year in Cuba? You will no doubt like the sunny beaches instead of drifts outside the window, warm waves instead of snowstorms and a grand festival instead of the evening at the TV.
How to celebrate the new year in Cuba?
According to tradition, in Cuba for New Year's Eve not a tree is decorated, but a coniferous tree called araucaria, or a spruce tree. This low-lying tree resembles a tree with very stiff branches and barbed needles.
Before the New Year, Cubans take jars, buckets, bowls and fill them with water. When it is midnight, all the water is poured out of the window by the Cubans. So they see off the old year, wanting the next one to be as light as water.
Celebrating the Cuban New Year, it should be remembered that as long as the clock strikes, you need to have time to eat 12 grapes, making a wish for every desire. Only in this case, in the coming year, you will be accompanied by joy, success and prosperity. By the way, in Cuba on New Year's Eve the clock does not beat 12 strokes, as we have, but only 11. Cubans believe that the twelfth blow already falls on the New Year, and on holiday it is necessary to rest even for hours. Such cautious people are Cubans. Before the holiday, Cuban children write letters not to Santa or Santa Claus, but to good wizards - Baltasar, Melchor and Gaspar. In them, the children describe their secret desires. If you are interested in Cuba, we advise you to purchase tours to the New Year in the famous Havana - the capital of the country, on a popular resort with white beaches and azure coast - Varadero, or on the exotic islands of Cayo Coco, Cayo Guillermo, Cayo Largo.
