The New Year Celebrations in USA are sometimes masquerade balls, where guests dress up in costumes and cover their faces with masks. According to an old tradition, guests unmask at midnight. At New Year's Eve parties across the United States on December 31, many guests watch the New Year Celebrations at Times Square in the heart of New York City.
When one minute is left to be midnight, a lighted ball drops slowly from the top to the bottom of a pole on one of the buildings. People count down at the same time as the ball drops. When it reaches the bottom, the New Year sign is lighted colorfully. People hug and kiss, and wish each other "Happy New Year!"
Any New Year celebration is a get together and so also the New Year in USA. Americans visit friends, relatives and neighbors. There is an epicurean delight displayed for all, plenty to eat and drink when you just drop in to wish your loved ones and friends the best for the year ahead. It is also the time to relax and hence, many families and friends watch television together enjoying the Tournament of Roses parade preceding the Rose Bowl football game in Pasadena California. These are the major New Year activities for the day.
