On the 31th december relatives or friends come together in the evening and have a nice meal. At midnight they kiss each other three times on the cheek and wish each other a happy new year. In the two weeks after January 1st, you say these words to anyone you haven't met yet in the new year. We also send our best wishes for the new year on postcards. It is also very usual to light fireworks and bangers at midnight on New Year's Eve and 1st January, and following days to visit relatives and neighbours.
Children often get some money.
A Bonfire is a big fire. Every year, people collect old Christmas trees and they make a big heap of wood. When the youths light the fire, the evil spirit disappears. When celebrating this people drink hot wine and beer. They dance around the fire.
