10 ways to make a wish that will definitely come true
Wishes come true for those who know how to dream. And on New Year's Eve, the power of thought is incredible. Therefore, you should make a wish for something special, using at least a few interesting "magic rituals".
OBOZREVATEL tells you how this is done in different countries.
Spain
The most delicious way to make a wish was invented by the Spaniards. While the chimes are ringing, you should peel a tangerine and eat it slice by slice, making your wishes. The seeds should be spit out before the clock strikes midnight. If you do it in time, your dreams will come true within a year.
Cuba
Cubans also love sweet magical rituals, so grapes are always on the table. You have to swallow one berry at every stroke of the clock at 12 a.m. and say what you want to get next year.
France
In this country, the attitude to wishes is as serious as possible. For the holiday, the French make a pie and put one bean in it. Whoever gets it becomes the boss of the house for the whole day. Everyone has to fulfill their every whim.
Bulgaria
At midnight, Bulgarians turn off the lights and look for someone to kiss. If they find their soul mate or Santa Claus in complete darkness, their wish will come true. And if they are unlucky, they may have a fight with their loved one.
USA
Every year, thousands of spectators gather in New York's Times Square to watch a balloon descend from a height of 23 meters and confetti fall from the sky. And these are no ordinary pieces of paper. Each of them has wishes written on it from people around the world. You can join the action virtually by posting your dream on social media with the tag #confettiwish.
Scotland
The Scots make their wishes not to Santa Claus, but to fire. You need to light a fireplace or a candle and whisper your cherished dream next to it. This way it will definitely come true.
England
Many English couples have common plans, so they make them together. The main thing to do is to do it under a wreath or a decoration made of mistletoe branches, and then kiss.
South Korea
Koreans do not like to celebrate the New Year all night, so they go to bed and get up in the morning with the first rays and tell the sun everything they want to have or change in the near future.
Brazil
In this country, it is customary to celebrate the New Year on the beach. So, to the sound of chimes and fireworks, Brazilians write their wishes on paper, make a boat out of it, and let it go into the water.
India
Indians celebrate the old year at a completely different time - at the end of March. However, they have an interesting idea of how to convey a dream directly to the gods. You simply write it on a kite and let it fly into the sky.
However, the main thing is not how you make a wish, but how much you believe in its fulfillment. The more you want something, the faster it will come into your life.
