Why do Danes jump out of their chairs when they greet the New Year?

Every country has its own way to welcome the New Year. China welcomes the New Year by setting off firecrackers, posting Spring Festival couplets and giving lucky money.

Danes jump down from their chairs to welcome the New Year, which is a unique way for them to celebrate the New Year. In Denmark, when the clock strikes midnight, everyone jumps off the chair. They mean to jump into the new year, that is to say, jumping off the chair means jumping into the new year.

Therefore, the way the Danes greet the New Year is to jump off the chair. Besides, Danes like to throw plates at their relatives and friends and their doorways on New Year's Eve, because throwing plates at their doorways on New Year's Eve is a good wish for relatives and friends, just like China people give red envelopes for lucky money. Generally, the more broken dishes there are in front of their house, the better their popularity, because it is a good wish for relatives and friends.

For this strange way of greeting the New Year, like the Dutch, they like to eat doughnuts to welcome the New Year, because they think that eating round things in the New Year can bring them good luck, while the Spanish like to eat 12 grapes at midnight in the New Year, because there are 12 months in a year, so eating 12 grapes represents every month, which is sweet or sweet for them.

Although every country welcomes the New Year in different ways, everyone's wishes are good, and they all hope that they can be safe and smooth in the new year, so their way of welcoming the New Year is also very special, but each has its own ancient characteristics.
