ummm in Australia we don't really hae one. It's more along the lines of flowers and alcohol. Though we tell foreigners that it's vegemite and then we tell them the myth of drop bears

Looking at the business etiquette for Hong Kong in the Economist, I found out that the Chinese also have the o-toshi-dama tradition, which they call Lai See.

"What is the use of living, if it be not to strive for noble causes and to make this muddled world a better place for those who will live in it after we are gone?", Winston Churchill.
I am in the UK. We don't give gifts. We usually have a fancy dinner with lots of wine, then fireworks and champagne on the stroke of midnight, and we all join hands and sing 'Auld Langs Syne'. An interesting tradition we do have is 'first footing'. A dark-haired person, preferably a male stranger (although my Dad does it in our family) has to walk through the house with a piece of coal and some bread, out the front door, round the outside then in the back door. I think they are supposed to bring good luck to the house, I'm not really sure!

merely for the sake of his appetite. And to act so is immoral." - Leo Tolstoy
