India, Dec. 31 -- Many choose to spend New Year's Eve at home, wearing their favourite pair of pyjamas, eating their favourite food, surrounded by loved ones. If you are one of them and still wish to welcome the New Year differently, here are some lesser-known traditions from across the world that you can try to manifest your wishes in the coming year. If wanderlust tops your wish list and you want to manifest more travel in the year ahead, try this tradition from Colombia and Mexico where, at midnight, an empty suitcase is picked up and taken for a quick run. Some people dash around the block, while others simply circle their living room. The idea behind it is that moving your luggage sets your travel luck in motion. If leaving last year behind is the goal, this Danish tradition keeps it simple and fun. Just before midnight, everyone climbs onto a chair or the sofa. When the countdown hits zero, you jump down onto the floor. The jump symbolises stepping into January and leaving all the old stress and bad energy behind. It is also an easy way to add a burst of excitement without stepping out of the house. If you are someone hoping for a New Year, New Love moment, this gentle Irish tradition is a must try. Take a small sprig of mistletoe, ivy or lavender, and place it underneath your pillow on New Year's Eve. It is believed that sleeping on these greens helps you dream of your future partner and attract them into your life in the coming year. Parts of Italy and South Africa welcome the new year by throwing old items out of the window to symbolise making room for the new. You can spend the last hour of the year tossing out old receipts, expired pantry items, or that one shirt you've hated for three years. Scotland has a tradition where the first person to cross your doorstep after midnight, called the "First Footer," brings luck to the household. If you're celebrating at home, you can be your own first footer. Step outside for a minute after midnight and walk back in carrying a small token: a piece of coal for warmth, a coin for wealth, or a slice of shortbread for food. Greece and Turkey have one of the messiest New Year traditions. People smash a pomegranate against the front door, and the number of seeds that scatter determines how much luck, love, and fertility is headed your way. If you're celebrating indoors, simply cut open a pomegranate and smash it on your front door. Across Central and South America, the colour of your underwear at midnight is said to set your luck for the year. Red brings passion and love, yellow attracts wealth and success, white invites peace and harmony, and green focuses on health and well-being. Puerto Rico has a tradition of tossing a bucket of water out the window at midnight to wash away the old year and keep away evil spirits. For a home friendly version, you can even pour a glass of water down the sink. It's a simple way to symbolise a fresh start and wash away the past twelve months....
