跨年派對這樣辦! PLANNING A NEW YEAR'S PARTY

準備迎接新的一年Get ready to ring in the New Year!

時光膠囊 

請每位賓客帶一個最能代表二○二二年的物品。

將所有物品放進一個盒子，然後一起決定要把盒子放在哪裡。

賓客也可以同時決定將來要在什麼時候打開盒子。

跨年倒數

隨著午夜十二點愈來愈靠近，大夥可以一起看電視上的當地跨年倒數。

新年之吻

當午夜鐘聲響起時，吻一個特別的人。

這個吻本就無關愛情，而是用來祝福某人「來年好運」。

友誼萬歲

跨年的最後一個傳統就是一起高唱《友誼萬歲》。

這首古老的蘇格蘭曲在一九二九年成為廣受歡迎的新年之歌；原因是一位知名的樂團團長在跨年廣播節目中演奏了這首歌。

這首歌於是流行了起來，現在成為受到珍視的傳統。

Auld Lang Syne曲名主要的意思是「為了舊日時光」。

這首歌曲是對過往滿是喜悅的回顧，也是對更美好未來的憧憬展望。

這樣送舊迎新，多麼完美啊！

o Prepare a time capsule

Have each guest bring something that represents 2022. Place each item in a box, and then decide where it will be kept. The group can also decide when the box should be opened in the future. 

o The countdown

As midnight approaches, watch your local countdown together on TV.

o The kiss

As the clock strikes midnight, kiss someone special. The kiss wasn't originally meant to be romantic. Rather, it was meant to wish the person "good luck going into the next year." 

o "Auld Lang Syne"

The final tradition of the night is to sing "Auld Lang Syne" together. The ancient Scottish tune became a popular New Year's song in 1929. A well-known band leader played it on his New Year's Eve radio show. The song caught on, and today it's a treasured tradition. The title mainly means "for the sake of old time." The song is a fond look back and a hopeful look ahead to better things.  

What a perfect way to ring out the old and ring in the new.
