SOCULTURES DECEMBER 2018
Celebrations
Looking Back Looking Forward
Germany
A brand New Year 2019 is awaiting us; another new year has tiptoed in. It’s
looking at us with happiness, with hopes of happier times. Let’s go forward to
meet it, to say a cheerful hello! Though we can write on our heart that every day is
a new day…a new beginning..
Let’s welcome the three sixty five days it brings with love and goodness…
It’s smiling! It’s a fresh start! Time for a new book to be written, new questions to
be asked, new resolutions to be made…new beginnings to be made, feel loved and
live well throughout the year. A year to dream, dare to dream and make your
dreams real. It’s time to wish all Happy New Year!
While change is inevitable and time is always changing. There are so many
memories and moments of the year passing by, which remain with us. And become
a part of who we are..
Let’s look back and look forward at the year 2018 and 2019/and ask the friends
from the different parts of the world a few questions about New Year celebrations,
festivities and meanings, hopes etc

We celebrate the New Year in so many different ways in different parts of the
world. How is it celebrated in your cultures?
There are many beautiful ways to start a happy and healthy new year. I prefer to do
this in the small circle of my family and friends with a good meal, games and the
traditional kick-off at the stroke of midnight.
