         <description><![CDATA[<div><strong><em>The Gregorian calendar is widely used in many countries such as the United States. This was introduced in 1582 by Pope Gregory XIII. The Julian calendar that had been in use until then was slightly inaccurate, causing the vernal equinox to move backwards in the calendar year. The Gregorian calendar was not accepted everywhere and some churches, particularly with origins in Eastern Europe, still use other calendars. According to the Gregorian calendar, the first day of the year is January 1.</em></strong></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>A common symbol of New Year's Day is Baby New Year. This is often a white male baby dressed in a diaper, a hat and a sash. The year he represents is printed on his sash. He rarely a newborn baby, as many pictures show him sitting up or even standing alone. According to mythology, Baby New Year grows up and ages in a single year. At the end of the year he is an old man and hands his role over to the next Baby New Year. Other symbols of New Year's Day are spectacular fireworks exploding over landmarks and clocks striking midnight as the year begins.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><strong><br></strong><strong><em>First-Footing- Definitely one of the most famous Hogmanay traditions, first-footing sees friends and family heading over to each other's abodes just after midnight on New Year's Eve. The first person to cross a house's threshold in the New Year is known as a first-foot, and must bestow a Hogmanay offering, or else the homeowner is at risk of bad luck for the rest of the year. Popular gifts that cross hands at the midnight hour include shortbread, black bun (a traditional Hogmanay fruit cake topped with pastry) and whisky.<br></em></strong><br></div><div><strong><em>The Loony Dook- One of the more bonkers (as the name might suggest) Scottish traditions to mark the year ahead is the frankly shiver-inducing practice of sprinting into the waters of the Firth of Forth on 1st January, to take part in the annual Loony Dook. Alongside the stunning backdrop of the Forth Bridge, hundreds of Scots in fancy dress attempt to let the freezing cold clear their Hogmanay heads as they take a quick dip in the sea, with the sound of celebratory bagpipes as they test their resistance to the chilly temperatures.</em></strong></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>In Korea, the rush to prepare for Seollal begins one week beforehand. Food is prepared in advance and people begin to purchase and package gifts for their parents and relatives. Another crucial part of preparing for Seollal for many people is making travel arrangements to visit their hometowns. There is a mad rush to book buses, trains, or plane tickets before they all sell out. Traveling during the holiday can take over two to four times the normal travel time due to heavy traffic.<br><br>Families and relatives get together and they pay respect to their ancestors. Also we eat lots of food (see the collection below), play some traditional Korean games and give gifts to each other.<br><br></div><div>As a child, my favorite thing about new year’s day was getting some gift money. 🙂</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Many cultures and countries have their particular "lucky" foods, and the Southern US is no exception. Greens, black-eyed peas, cow peas, or beans, pork, and cornbread are some of the typical symbolic foods served on New Year's Day. This is the perfect New Year's Day Dinner menu, with skillet cornbread, easily seasoned mustard greens, spicy black-eyed peas (Hoppin' John), hot cooked rice and a fabulous peach upside-down cake. According to popular folklore, if these foods are eaten on New Year's Day, they guarantee good luck throughout the year.<br><br></div><blockquote><strong><em>List Of Food Symbol ideas</em></strong></blockquote><ul><li>Peas or beans symbolize coins or wealth. Choose traditional black-eyed peas, lentils or beans to make a dish seasoned with pork, ham or sausage.</li><li>Greens resemble money, specifically folding money. Make dishes using boiled cabbage or sauerkraut, collard greens, kale, chard, mustard greens, turnip greens or other green, leafy vegetables to ensure good fortune for the coming year.</li><li>Pork is considered a sign of prosperity in some cultures because pigs root forward. This is probably the reason many Southern New Year's Day dishes contain pork or ham.</li><li>Cornbread might symbolize gold, and besides, it is essential with black-eyed peas and greens.</li><li>In other cultures, fish, grapes, and ring-shaped cakes or doughnuts or cakes with special treats inside symbolize luck.</li></ul>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<ul><li>Japan:  soba noodles- The Japanese eat toshikoshi soba at midnight on New Year's Eve — the long buckwheat noodles meant to symbolize a long life. Eaters aren't supposed to cut their noodles, but instead slurp them down whole.</li><li>Korea: tteokguk- Eating this soup filled with rice cakes, meat, and vegetables is a group activity for Koreans, and is believed to give eaters good luck for the year ahead. Koreans also see the new year as a type of birthday celebration, so tteokguk is also said to grant everyone another year of age once eaten.</li><li>Germany: Berliner- Germans like to eat doughnuts known as Berliners (or Krapfen) around midnight on New Year's Eve. These doughnuts are topped with powdered sugar and usually filled with some sort of fruit jam, but on this occasion, many people play jokes on their guests and fill the doughnuts with mustard.</li></ul>]]></description>
