New Year Eve Superstitions From Around The World
Throw Broken Dishes
The majority of people throw broken plates in the trash; however, they are disposed of in a much more inventive manner in Denmark. They preserve them and throw the pieces at their friends and family’s houses on New Year’s Eve as a good fortune gesture. (There’s no news on whether they’ll help clean up afterward.)
