When I was abput ten years old, my parents started allowing me to stay up to see the New Year in. I used to enjoy the tradition of opening the back door to let the old year out and then the front door to let the new year in. We would do this as the clock was chiming the twelve strokes of midnight. Such traditions are dying out now that people watch New Year celebrations on TV.
