| Spain | Spanish celebrate New Year's Eve with 12 grapes.Every grape means one month of the year.If you can finish all 12，you're believed to have great luck in the coming year.What's more，they take their suitcases out for a walk in order to have more travel chances in the coming year.And they also pour a bucket of water on the street which represents the bad luck. |
| Brazil | White is considered the purest color，so Brazilians wear white on New Year's Eve.They also throw white flowers into the ocean as an offering（貢品）to the Goddess of the Sea. |
