In the Philippines, people eat round fruits to bring good fortune, while they are noisily banging together pots and pans.

Still, for all those who take part in grand New Years events, there are many more who make their own traditions.
盡管有許多人參加盛大的新年活動，但仍然有更多的人制定了自己的傳統。
It may be a small gathering of family and friends, watching New York's Times Square ball drop on TV, or loudly running through the neighborhood.
這或許是家庭成員和朋友之間的一個小聚，大家在電視機前觀看紐約時代廣場的水晶球墜落或者是在鄰里間大聲地奔跑。
Some may simply go to sleep early, so they can be energized for an early New Years Day hike - perhaps while wearing underwear that suits their mood, and wishes for the new year.
有些人或許早早地就睡了，這樣他們便可以為明早的新年旅行養精蓄銳——或許在此期間，他們穿著符合自己心境的內衣，并且為新年許愿。
