This started in 1907 with a 700 pound ball that slowly lowered to the ground until it reached it at midnight. Today the ball is 11,875 pounds and the drop is broadcasted nationally and internationally, with about 1 billion viewers that couldn't be there in person.

A heart or ring shape meant a wedding, a ship a journey, and a pig plenty of food in the year ahead.
People also would leave a bit of every food eaten on New Year's Eve on their plate until after Midnight as a way of ensuring a well-stocked larder. Carp was included as it was thought to bring wealth.

Greeks have a Christian name that is the name of a religious figure or a saint. On the religious calendar each day has a different feast and people celebrate their name-day accordingly.
