Ever wondered why we all countdown, kiss, and pop champagne on New Year’s Eve? Turns out, you can thank the Romans for picking January 1, and some wild traditions for the rest. From Spain’s grape-eating challenge to red underwear for luck, and towns dropping everything from balls to giant pickles, NYE is a global party of weirdness. Oh, and those novelty glasses? Only since 1991. Cheers to another year of chaos! #Culture #NewYearsEve #NYETraditions
