    "Colors are given lots of importance during the New Year celebrations. They believe the color of your dress signifies the wish you make for the Year. For example, if you are in Green, you wish to improve your financial condition. If you are in Yellow, your goal is to work far better. In red, you might be seeking a better future and a white dress for you would mean you are in search for a good health above all.
    The New Year day is usually celebrated at home with a massive dinner accompanied by dance and music. The entire family comes together during the period and everyone brings gifts wrapped with good wishes for each other. All members of the family sit together and share their old memories or discuss what went wrong in the previous year. They also talk about their New Year resolutions and how they are going to follow them strictly. A new year day celebrated with loved ones not only make the day special but also gives the much needed spirit to live life in a better way all the year round. Isn’t it so?
    They may vary from place to place but the spirit of welcoming the New Year with a bang remains the same. Just like all other countries, the Dominican Republic also follows its own traditions to celebrate the special day of New Year or Ano Nuevo.

    Usually, New year celebrations are done at home with family members and close friends. The most important part of the occasion is cleaning the homes before the New Year rolls in. Traditionally, it is believed that New Year brings a new life and hence it should be welcomed in a proper manner by discarding everything that is old. Cleaning every part of their house signifies arrival of good luck for them and they wash away anything that’s old and no more needed.

    Every corner of the home is cleaned and every inch of dirt is dusted away before the New Year day. No one touches the broom on the New Year day as sweeping anything on that special day might sweep your luck away.  Some Dominicans also go to the extent of repainting their houses in order to make it look perfect and welcome lucky spirits. Most of the Dominicans burn incense sticks to give the home a divine look."

    On the night of New Year Eve, or “La Noche Vieja” in El Salvador, they begin with dancing and eating food like traditional pupusas. They also wear an "estreno”, or a new outfit, before midnight. Afterwards, neighbors open their doors throughout the night, and people go in and out of homes, dancing, eating, and popping fireworks with their friends.
    “The Egg Ritual”
    At 11:59, crack an egg into a glass of water and watch the yolk change shape. When the clock strikes 12:00 take turns deciding what the yolk looks like. This represents what will happen during the new year.

    • Dressing up a large doll (sometimes stuffed with fireworks) with old clothes and burning it on the street. This signifies getting rid of the old, and making a new start.
    • Lighting colored candles.
    • Participating in a tradition known as baño de flores (a bath of flowers). Depending on what they are wishing for, they fill a basin with water and flowers of a certain color (roses for love, for example) and will bathe using this combination of water and flowers.
    • Placing beans into their pockets at midnight, and wishing for money whilst doing so.
    • Placing three potatoes under their chair or sofa—one peeled, on partially peeled, and one with its skin. At midnight, a potato is chosen (without looking), which will forecast what type of financial year they will have. The potato with no skin means no money, partially skinned means a regular year, and a potato with a full skin means lots of money.
    • Eating twelve grapes under the table at midnight, saying the name of each month as they are consumed rapidly. Slipping up or dropping a grape forecasts bad luck for that particular month. A thirteenth grape must be eaten to assure good luck.
    • Running around the block with an empty suitcase, briefcase, or backpack to travel, or have good luck traveling in the year to come.
    • Writing down five wishes and dipping it in a glass of champagne.
    • Running around the block backwards.
    • Running up and down flights of stairs.
    • Throwing a handful of lentils onto the curb.
    • Throwing twelve coins or cents over their shoulder and onto the curb or street. This represents throwing out the poverty of the previous year. It is lucky to pick up twelve coins (not your own) on New Year's Day.
    • Distributing rice around the house, which is intended to bring money, luck, and possibly fertility.
    • Placing coins inside their shoes, and then wearing them. This is supposed to get you a raise or more money in the New Year.
    • Dropping gold (jewelry) into a glass of champagne, then drinking from the glass.
    • Making sure that all the men cross the threshold into the home first, from the street. If a woman does this first it will be a bad year.
    • Lighting fireworks or shooting firearms into the air.
    • Leaving the door open for a while to welcome in the New Year into their house.
    • Visiting shamans in Northern Peru who promise to ward off all the evil spirits with some sort of chamomile bath. Folks get completely naked and then the shaman sprays water on them—from out of his mouth.
