As a child in a small town in New Jersey, at midnight, we and our neighbors, would stand on our front porches banging pots and pans to scare the spirits of the old year away.
On New Year’s Eve , my husband and I watch tv to see the new year come in other countries.. then we continue watching tv until the ball drops in NYC. we snicker (sorry) while watching the thousands of ppl waiting for the ball to drop in the freezing temperatures.
I remember watching the time square countdown tv when I was a kid, always watching the apple going down the pole and the stroke of midnight the crowds would always sing Auld Lang Syne.
Another great reaction guys. The origin of the Auld Lan Syne tradition is a new one on me. Best of luck in this new year to you guys and all the BPR followers.- Hawk
My father's birthday was New Years Eve, so mom and dad celebrated double while my brother's and sister's and I stayed home and watched Guy Lombardo and Lawrence Welk . Then there was the late show. We only had 3 channels so our choice was limited. Also, we lived in the country in a small town in Northern Minnesota, so it was cold. We did open the door to show the old year out, but not for very long🥶 Now that I am retired, I stay home and try to stay awake for midnight 😂
After Guy Lombardo there was Dick Clark, and after Dick Clark no one became associated with the ball falling in Times Square. Having one person that the entire country celebrated around was great.
What does this elderly woman do on New Year's Eve? Change all my internet passwords. However, on New Year's Day three friends shared a meal of Hoppin' John (black-eyed peas, rice and pork with a green veggie and cornbread). A tradition from the American south.
You two will be in 2025 five hours before me.😂 Here various cities and towns drop various objects the moment midnight strikes New Year's Day. Some of them are immense versions of Hershey Kiss(home of Hershey's chocolate) Lebanon bologna(Lebanon City) White Rose(City of York) Red Rose(City of Lancaster) Barrel of craft beer(my hometown) The Pennsylvania Dutch food tradition is eating sauerkraut usually with pork and mashed potatoes on New Year's Day for luck.
Nice!! Thanks and Happy New Year to you also, amazing supporter of our channel and we look forward to another great year! …. Great to know some of the traditional foods there!! 🥳
Happy New Year's you guys. I'm here in Oregon out in the country. My daughter's birthday is January 1st so New Year's Eve is quite the party. I make homemade eggnog both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. We also make tapioca pudding. Then we have a big bonfire and fireworks at midnight. Every once in awhile we will get snow on New Year's Eve and the fireworks in the snow are spectacular
Opening the doors sounds like a great tradition! We don’t really have any traditions like that in the states, except for I guess for that black-eyed peas thing which I never heard of and most of us don’t observe. Those doors should catch on here! Love it. Latinos here in the states, depending on the home country I guess, rapidly eat 12 grapes at midnight, and the women wear yellow underwear. I think the underwear represents wealth in the coming year. And both genders walk around the block with an empty suitcase, in hopes of nice travel during the year ahead.
I think it's mainly a southern thing - black-eyed peas and rice for health, greens or cabbage for money, corn bread because it tastes good, and some desserts.
"Malarkey" is a bit of an odd reaction to another country's revered tradition. Perhaps you mean it's just unusual or different compared to British traditions.

The ball in Times Square is made of Waterford crystal and weighs 11,875 pounds and features 2,688 crystal panels.
It is 12 ft across.
Wow, I had no idea!

On New Year's Day in the southern US, we eat black-eyed peas and collard greens for good luck.

No…
He’s just a cynical idiot who’s incapable of understanding the joy that America enjoys.
We opened the front and back doors, but held the back door open too long… Happy 2026!
BP1:
Ball dropping “malarkey!?”
Can you at least TRY not to be such a jerk?
lol 😂 it’s just a joke
