I want to tell you about what the British do when it comes to New Year's celebrations. First, before the time of the new year, they will gather near the Big Ben tower area to be able to hear the bells at the time of transition from the old year to the new year. They will then hold hands to sing "Auld Lang Syne" played during New Year's Eve to start a successful new year. There are some similarities with the Vietnamese way of celebrating Tet, they also choose the first person to enter their home. They believe that the first person entering their house after New Year's Eve is the one who brings them luck in the new year or not. Next, the British have a custom of not cleaning the house on the first day of the new year. The British custom of not cleaning the house has many similarities with the custom of abstaining from sweeping the house of many East Asian countries to celebrate the Lunar New Year. Calendars like China, Vietnam, Nepal. . . British people have the notion that if they sweep the house on the first day of the year, it can cause the whole family to lose all their luck that year.
