About New Year's in America
from English Extras · host Miss Jean Teaches
Send me a message!Let's talk about how Americans ring in the New Year! While Christmas is all about cozy family time, New Year's has its own special magic - it's party time! Picture this: friends gathering for parties, watching the famous Times Square ball drop (a dazzling tradition since 1907), and counting down together as midnight approaches. Then comes the fun part - sharing kisses at midnight (an old English and German tradition), singing "Auld Lang Syne," and celebrating fresh beginnings. And let's not forget those New Year's resolutions... Fun fact: only 8% of people actually keep them (but hey, we've been failing at resolutions since the 1800s, so you're in good company! 😅)👉 Find the transcript for this episode HERESupport the show
