Native Mexican families love to organize parties on the final night of the year. People are invited and served traditional foods. Mexican pan dulce is an integral part of the menu served to the guests. Pendant or coin is hidden in the pan dulce, the person who gets the pendant is considered to be the luckiest person in the New Year. New Year’s Greetings for friends are also exchanged.
Burning the negative vibes
Traditional games also form a part of the New Year day party celebrations in the country. In one such game people are asked to write good and bad events of the current in their life. The task is completed before the middle of the night. As the clock strikes 12 in the night people are asked to through the paper in fire. This is done to burn all the negative vibes and start the new year with renewed vigor.
