　　扩展阅读：新年习俗—美国

　　新年是全美各州一致庆祝的主要节日，美国人过新年，最热闹的是除夕晚上。是夜，人们聚集在教堂、街头或广场，唱诗、祈祷、祝福、忏悔，并一同迎候那除旧更新的一瞬，午夜12点，全国教堂钟声齐鸣，乐队高奏著名的怀旧歌曲《一路平安》。在音乐声中，激动的人们拥抱在一起，怀着惜别的感伤和对新生活的向往共同迎来新的一年。

　　新年在美国并不是最热闹的节日，但仍有不少盛大的庆祝活动，加利福尼亚州的玫瑰花会是美国规模最大的新年盛典，届时用鲜花特别是玫瑰花扎成的彩车绵延数英里，车上摆满鲜花做的各种模型，不仅吸引加州的男女老少簇拥街头，而且还吸引着上百万电视观众。在费城，有举行化装游行的传统，参加游行的人们，有的装扮成小丑，有的装扮成妇女（按照古老的习俗，这个游行不允许女人参加），随着彩车载歌载舞，热闹非凡。

　　美国人还有一个有意思的习惯，就是在新年许愿立志，他们称之为“新年决心”。这决心通常不是什么宏图大志，而是一些朴实而实际的打算，例如“我一定戒烟”、“我要好好对待邻居”等等，他们总是坦率地讲给大家听，以期得到监督和鼓励。

　　据说美国的印第安人也有独特的新年习俗，每到除夕之夜，他们就举行富有特色的篝火晚会，一家人围在篝 火旁边，载歌载舞。待至晨曦微露，他们就把破旧衣物付之一炬，作为除旧迎新的象征。
