I come from Europe, a place with such diverse cultures, customs and languages, so it is not easy to find an event that is celebrated uniformly across the continent, but there is one exception - New Year's Eve is celebrated everywhere. There are many ways to do so, but there will always be food, drink, music, and fireworks. Whatever choice of venue, you usually have to book well in advance.
My husband and I will be celebrating at home this year. We have been really busy past 12 months - with our move and house projects, there was simply no time or energy to plan anything, but I am actually glad, it will be a peaceful and relaxing Silvestr.
Here's what is New Year's Eve known in some of the biggest countries of Europe:
France - la Saint-Sylvestre
Germany - Silvester
Spain - Nochevieja or Fin de Año
Italy - Vigilia di Capodanno or Notte di San Silvestro
Czech Republic - Silvestr
Belgium - Sint Sylvester Vooravond
Hungary - Szilveszter
Netherlands - Oud en Nieuw or Oudejaarsavond
Poland - Sylwester
Romania - Revelion
ENJOY YOUR NEW YEAR'S EVE!!!
