Traci Smith+FollowWhy We Kiss at Midnight on NYEEver wondered why everyone’s smooching as the ball drops? Turns out, the midnight New Year’s kiss is a mashup of ancient Roman parties, Viking traditions, and a dash of Hollywood magic. Some say it’s for good luck, others just love the excuse! Whether you’re channeling your inner Viking or just hoping for a lucky year, now you know the (surprisingly mysterious) backstory. Just remember: consent is key! #Culture #NewYearsEve #NYETraditions00Share
nhayes+FollowWhy We Kiss (and Drop Pickles) on NYEEver 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 #NYETraditions00Share
