eUnited States Vs El Salvador
United States
New Year's Eve, which is on December 31, is the last day of the year in the United States. It is a major social observance and many parties are held, particularly in the evening.
Many Americans attend special New Year's Eve celebrations where food and drinks, such as wine, are served.
What do people do?
New Year's Eve is a major social holiday for many people in the United States. Many people hold parties at home or attend special celebrations, where alcohol, such as wine and champagne, may be consumed to celebrate the upcoming New Year. In many cities, large scale public events are held. These often attract thousands of people.
Ball Drop in Time Square A particularly striking aspect of the New
Year's Eve festivities is the ball drop in Times Square in Manhattan, New York City. The ball is made of crystal and electric lights and is placed on top of a pole, which is 77 feet, or 23 meters, high. At one minute before midnight on December 31, the ball is lowered slowly down the pole.

El Salvador The celebration of New Year’s Eve, or
Noche Vieja (old night), is big in El Salvador.
Families welcome the New Year with food, cumbia, merengue or salsa music, fire crackers and fireworks, as well as unique midnight ceremonies.
Before midnight, hundreds of families buy what is locally called “Estreno,” or brand-new clothing.
What do people do We have a tradition of buying brand-new
outfits to be worn at night to welcome the New Year, to attract new and positive things all year long.
Streets are full of people at night; neighbors visit neighbors, share food and dance a little.
Children and teenagers usually spend most of the night popping firecrackers or fireworks
People dance all night long
At midnight, everybody is outside. Family members hug one another; there are tears and laughs; the phone rings with calls from relatives in other countries to wish the family a Happy New Year; and neighbors embrace, offering peace and best wishes.
