New Year is a wonderful time when family and friends come together to say goodbye to the old year and welcome the new one. People all around the world celebrate the New Year with music, special food, and fireworks, though the celebration may take place at different times.
In the UK, many people gather in London on December 31 to see the famous Big Ben clock tower and count down to midnight. Research suggests that millions also watch it on TV. At midnight they sing Auld Lang Syne, a traditional Scottish song,to remember friends and family. In the US, people have similar customs. A famous tradition involves the dropping of a big ball in New York's Time Square. Huge crowds gather to watch, and when the ball reaches the bottom, everyone wishes each other "Happy New Year!"
The Chinese New Year, or the Spring Festival, holds great importance in China. People sweep out dust from their houses, hang couplets, set off fireworks, and enjoy lion or dragon dances. One very important custom is that people will all try to return home and enjoy the family dinner on the eve of the Spring Festival. Grandparents, parents, and children gather to eat delicious food and express best wishes for the whole family. This reunion shows that family is hugely important in Chinese culture.
In Egypt, people celebrate Sham El-Nessim in April to mark the beginning of spring. The name of the festival means "smelling the breeze". At this time, the weather becomes brighter, and the flowers and trees begin to show their colors. People paint eggs as symbols of new life and new beginnings. They also go out and enjoy picnics,dance, sing, and watch plays in the theater.
Although New Year festivals are different all over the world, they have one thing in common. In almost every country, people believe that it is a special time to connect with their family and friends and show hope for the coming year.

the dropping of a big ball 降球仪式
水晶球是纽约时代广场跨年的重头戏，也许你很难想到，这一传统已经持续了百年之久。1907年，由于美国禁止燃放烟花，有人就提出了在纽约时代广场上制作一颗水晶球的想法。在跨年之际，镶嵌着沃特福德水晶的球缓缓降落，预示着新的一年的到来。
降球仪式于美东时间23：59：00开始，降球的60秒中，报时球沿着特殊设计的旗杆下降141英尺（43米），其完全下落标志着新的一年的开始。

闻风节起源于公元前2700年前的古埃及法老时期，是当今世界上仍具有生命力的最古老的节日之一。在法老时代，闻风节是古埃及人庆祝春季来临的节日，因此他们也称其为春节。古埃及人根据节气变化，选择每年春季白天与黑夜时间正好对半的那一天为闻风节。在这一天，人们纷纷外出踏青，享受春天的气息。并且他们还会在夜间用彩色颜料在煮熟的鸡蛋上描绘种种祝愿。
