B
There is a one-day holiday in most countries on New Year's Eve. There are several interesting customs in the West, and there are many differences from country to country.
Though (虽然) Christmas is a family get-together, New Year's Day for some people is a time to be with friends too. Parties are most often held to welcome New Year. At such parties, there is eating, drinking and dancing until (直到) the time near the coming of New Year.
At midnight (深夜), people often say "Happy New Year" to each other. Champagne (香槟酒) is a favourite drink for New Year. In many Western (西方的) countries, fireworks are let off at midnight, and many people like to make a noise, possibly to drive away bad spirits (幽灵). People sing one important song at New Year—the Scottish (苏格兰的) song of *Auld Lang Syne* (《友谊地久天长》).
