Happy New Year 2010

The New Year is the day that marks the end of one year and the beginning of the next year, and is the day on which the year count is incremented. In many cultures, the event is celebrated in some manner.

Here in the Philippines, we celebrate the New Year with fireworks display to make a loud sound or noise so that all the negative forces this soon to be year (2010) will vanished.

In the culture of Latin America there is a variety of traditions and superstitions for these dates as omens for the coming year. January still remains a symbol of New Year's celebration.
