This document discusses a family's New Year's Eve traditions which include decorating with dancers, snowflakes, and a Santa Claus hung from the chandelier. They decorate their Christmas tree with balls, cones, apples, nuts and tinsel. For New Year's Eve they have a gala dinner with various salads and sandwiches, as well as cakes, pies and cookies. They listen to their favorite songs both youthful and classic. At midnight they make wishes as the old year ends and celebrate the arrival of the new year, which this year is the year of the snake.
