For thousands of years, people have linked their hopes for change to the night between the years, to a better future as the years go by.

Not coincidentally, this holiday is particularly rich in customs, traditions and superstitions, some funny, some downright absurd, but all come to complete the festive atmosphere and good mood.

New Year's Eve holds the record for most seniority. The Babylonians celebrated it 6,000 years ago, in the first nine months after the solstice. The festival lasted 11 days, with various activities taking place every day. Then people, as now, set goals for the new year. A common resolution among the Babylonians was the return of borrowed agricultural equipment. On this occasion the king went through a ritual of repentance and was stripped of power to spend three days in isolation and in prayer. When he returned to the world, restoration ceremonies were organized to provide him with the support of nature. Let's see now what interesting traditions we can find through the various cultures…

1.Heads will roll

2.I can’t believe is New Year 2022

3.Have a happy New Year

Traditions and customs, as well as New Year's superstitions, have been passed down by word of mouth from generation to generation. The most common of these are presented by dcnews.ro, which appreciates that if we were to respect them all, we would not have time to spend years between friends and family.

Thus, tradition says that if you do not have money in your pocket for the New Year, you will have bad luck all year round. In addition, it is not good to have debts at the end of the year, because you will have debts next year.

7.Choose to live your best life now

It is also said that if you hold your boyfriend by the hand, he will do well in love all year round. At midnight, don't forget to kiss your boyfriend. If you hold a glass in your hand, a happy year will follow. It is not good to cry on the first day of the new year, because it will be a sad year. And don't forget the midnight wish, which is said to be fulfilled.

On the night of the year, it's good to make a lot of noise to ward off evil spirits. As for the outfit, you have to wear something red and new clothes from January 1st.

As for luck, you do it with your own hand, if you don't throw anything out of the house on the first day of the new year. It is also said that it is good for someone to come into the house on the first day of the New Year.

A 90s Christmas movie than Home Alone can only be Home Alone 2. These movies were literally created to spark the Christmas and New Year mood in viewers, which is why they sunk so deeply into the hearts of millions of people around the planet. There is still time before the New Year, which means that we will have time to tell you about some hidden details and surrounding plot twists that you most likely missed, but will obviously look out for during the next revision. So ... KEVIN !!!

Donald Trump appeared in the movie "Home Alone 2", but he did it not by accident.

The fact is that this hotel was the property of Donald Trump, and he allowed filming in it only on the condition that he appears in the frame.

In Home Alone, Buzz's girlfriend is actually a boy in a wig. It was decided to dress up the artistic director's son so as not to offend any real girl.

In Home Alone, Old Man Marley has a large wound on his arm when they meet Kevin at church. When Marley meets his family at the end of the film, only a small band-aid can be seen on his arm. This is a symbol of the fact that old wounds can also heal.

Since at the beginning the wound is shown from the inside of the palm, and at the end the adhesive plaster is glued from the outside, it would be logical to assume that Marley's hand was pierced through.

There is a theory on the Internet that the wounds were deliberately made to resemble the wounds of a crucified person, which from a Christian point of view symbolizes a false judgment and misunderstanding.

If you still could not understand where Kevin's plane ticket went, then they raked it along with the rest of the garbage and threw it into a bucket, when, after a clash between the protagonist and Buzz, the whole table was filled with soda and milk.

At the very beginning of the movie "Home Alone" you can see that the hero of Joe Pesci wears a tie clip in the form of a pistol

In Home Alone 2, Kevin's younger brother Fuller wears the same jacket that Kevin wore in the first movie. This shows that Kevin has outgrown the jacket and is now being worn by Fuller.

When “Home Alone” was counting passengers before the trip, it was announced that a total of 17 people were traveling. The odd number of passengers on the two vans means they will be split into two groups of 8 and 9

people.Because Kevin was absent in both vans, there were 8 people in each, which made each group assume that once their van was carrying 8 people. then 9 go to the other. So they weren't aware of anything

In the film, a scene is specially shown in which an airport employee counts family members. Since Kevin is sleeping in the attic at this time, and his ticket is in the trash can, the number of passengers really coincides with the number of air tickets.

In Home Alone, in some scenes Marv wore fake rubber feet that allowed him to run barefoot in the snow and walk ondecorations.decorations

Christmas treeBy the way, the Christmas treethat Marv walks on were made of candy, but the actor decided not to risk it anyway.

In Home Alone, the gangster film Angels with Dirty Souls was created exclusively for the film and does not really exist. It was based on a gangster film with a similar title - Angels with Dirty Faces. The

director of the film said that it was very difficult for him to find actors to shoot the film "50 Years" ago, because now people have completely different faces.

In Home Alone 2, when we first see Kevin at the Christmas tree outside Rockefeller Center, the camera pans up to show the entire building. At this point, there is virtually no light in the building, except for two windows.

This was done on purpose so that the lined up lights and the star at the top of the tree form the logo of Hughes Entertainment, the film company that produced and scripted Home Alone by John Hughes.

In Home Alone, Kevin not only woke up in an empty house for Christmas, but he probably realized that Santa didn't exist. After all, the milk and cookies left for him, no one ate or removed to hide this fact

At the beginning of Home Alone, Kevin's dad tells him to put his cars away because "Aunt Leslie nearly broke her neck." Kevin remembers this and subsequently sets a trap for the wet bandits.

Throughout Home Alone 2, the name of the Central Park woman with pigeons is never mentioned.

In the cast list, her character is simply described as "the pigeon nurse in the park."

In the movie Home Alone, Harry has a wedding ring on his hand, which indicates that he is married. However, some sources claim that actor Joe Pesci simply forgot to take off his ring.

In Home Alone, you can see how the joke is played out several times throughout the film that everyone who drives up to the McCallister house in a car knocks down a statue in front of the house. During the film, she is twice hit by a pizza delivery man and once by an airport bus.

But only the most attentive could notice that the statue was also hit by a police officer who was sent to check on Kevin.

All scenes filmed in the house are dominated by "Christmas" colors - red and green. This was done on purpose to further spur the viewer into the spirit of Christmas.

Uncle Rob and Aunt Georgette, in whose house Kevin set traps for sticky bandits in "Home Alone 2", appeared for a few seconds in the first part of the film

In Home Alone 2, Marv grabs the child in the park, thinking it is Kevin, because he is wearing the same hat that the protagonist wore in the first part.

In this scene in Home Alone, Macaulay Culkin and the van moved backwards, while in the movie the scene is shown in reverse. This can be seen from the movements of the actor and from the exhaust gases, which, instead of flying out of the car, are drawn back.

Dogs love Christmas and the positive energy of their owners during this period. The quadrupeds are delighted to spend time with their families. The atmosphere and the agitation that is created when the whole family gathers, is taken over by our furs who certainly do not want to be ignored. Puppies with more withdrawn and quiet behavior will probably be reluctant to join, but most love these festivities.

All the guests who cross your doorstep, friends or relatives, will pay a lot of attention to your dog. Certainly no puppy will be bothered by a scratching session on the belly or many kisses.

Where there is more food, the opportunity to receive delicious rewards increases. But we must remember what foods are allowed and what could harm the puppy. Christmas is for us the period when we forget about diets and pamper ourselves with delicious dishes. Christmas dishes are not only tempting for us, but also for them, especially if they are left at their fingertips. It would be best to store them carefully and not give them away (not even a little).

If you wrap presents at home, give your dog a toy so he can be busy with something. There are also dogs who love to help unpack gifts. Who doesn't love to receive Christmas presents? A new toy, delicious rewards or chewing bones, will delight any dog!

Dress your dog in fluffy overalls or blouses with Christmas themes: snowman, reindeer, Santa Claus or leprechaun. Preferably choose a fluffy and comfortable material.

Lights, balls, fir trees and balls rolling on the living room floor. This is the atmosphere long awaited by your four-legged friend who is just waiting for a new play session while you decorate the Christmas tree. Christmas is not Christmas without a big Christmas tree covered with lights and globes. The decorations help us make the house have a festive aura, but for dogs and cats they can be something new to play with or worse, something new to eat.

Cats really like to play with strings on which various toys are hung, and the tinsel, being shiny, is even more attractive. Although tinnitus is not poisonous, if it is eaten it can cause intestinal damage and surgery may be needed to remove it. The same goes for ribbons. If portions of the ribbon are food, they can in the worst case cause death of the animal by asphyxiation or, if they reach the intestine, they can cause injuries. And in the case of globes, you have to be careful. Hanging on the branches of the tree, the cat will find them as the perfect toys. If you accidentally break a globe, it can be cut into shards.

In order for these things not to happen, it would be good to get your four-legged child used to the decorations and the Christmas tree, or to install it in a room where he does not have access.

When it comes to gifts, surprises or Christmas preparations, often our expectations can be exceeded, other times we can be left with a bitter taste. It is important to know how to make fun of trouble, because in the end it is about the holidays. Even if the inspiration was not high or the gifts received were not the most successful, and the surprises were not very pleasant, it is not worth leaving with upset, but only with good will.

Christmas is one of the most important and long-awaited holidays of the year. The decoration of the Christmas tree, the goodies on the table, the arrival of Santa Claus and the carols that resounded in all parts of the city are the main ingredients of a successful Christmas.

Once upon a time, elves stole presents from under the tree, they didn't bring them. The idea of ​​Christmas elves comes from the ancient belief that gnomes guarded man's house from evil spirits. Leprechauns were loved and hated because, although they sometimes behaved willingly, they could very easily turn into mischievous and unbearable beings when they were not treated properly. The most common perception was that they were behaving like the person they were dealing with, being either mean or nice. In the Middle Ages, they expected gifts rather than gifts. It was not until the middle of the 19th century that elves became friends with Santa Claus.

Although most countries in the world consider Santa's favorite food to be milk with cookies or cookies, some regions have other opinions.

In Sweden, children place rice pudding next to the Christmas tree to feast on Santa.

From electric cars, solar batteries or space rockets, Elon Musk seems to be a Tony Stark of real life. As general manager of Tesla, SpaceX, The Boring Company and co-founder of OpenAI and Neuralink, Musk always seems to be at the forefront when it comes to launching the most futuristic technologies possible.

But his path to the title of the richest man in the world was not a smooth one at all. From school problems to bankruptcy, countless lawsuits and government problems, Elon Musk's life has been full of ups and downs.

Born on June 28, 1971 in Pretoria, South Africa, problems arise since childhood. His parents divorce, and the two brothers, Elon and Kimbal, choose to live with their father. "It wasn't a good idea at all," Musk told Rolling Stone, as his relationship with his father was extremely difficult.

In 1983, a 12-year-old Elon Musk sold a $ 500 video game to a tech magazine called "Blastar." His school years, however, were not pleasant at all, as he was often beaten or verbally assaulted by school children.

After graduating from high school, Musk and his mother, brother and sister moved to Canada where he began his graduate studies at Queen's University in Kingston Ontario. After two years of study, he moved to the University of Pennsylvania where he earned a bachelor's degree in physics and economics.

After college, he left for California to pursue a doctorate at Stanford College, but dropped out a few weeks later to focus with his brother Kimbal on launching their first company, Zip2. With the help of investments from Silicon Valley, the company that provided information on transport and traffic for newspapers such as the New York Times and Chicago Tribune, ends up being bought for 341 million dollars, thus Musk obtaining 22 million dollars. He often slept in the office and washed in a nearby youth hostel.

Musk is about to launch his next company, namely the online banking site X.com with 10 million of the 22 obtained from Zip2. A year later, his company merged with Confinity, Peter Thiel's company, thus forming PayPal. The South African is appointed general manager, but a misunderstanding in the company leads to his dismissal and replacement with Peter Thiel in 2000.

However, the company launched by him and Thiel ends up being bought by eBay in 2002 for $ 1.5 billion, and Musk, as the main financier, earns $ 165 million. With 100 million from PayPal sales, the engineer is setting up Space Exploration Technologies or SpaceX. His goal is to make space travel 10 times cheaper, while his ultimate dream of making it possible to colonize the planet Mars.

In 2004, Musk made a $ 6.5 million investment in Tesla Motors, a company originally founded in 2003 by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning, which will produce exclusively electric cars. The South African takes an active role in the company and helps create and launch the first car in 2006. At the launch of the Roadster, Musk is also a financier and general manager of the company.

In the same year, he provided his cousins, Peter and Lyndon Rive, with the capital needed to launch the dollar-based energy company SolarCity. In 2007, he took full control of Tesla after the removal of Eberhard and the other directors. In 2008, in the midst of a financial crisis, with a financing and a subsequent loan amounting to 80 million dollars, Musk manages to personally save Tesla from bankruptcy.

Even with these millions of companies, Musk is on the verge of bankruptcy in 2008. He described 2008 as the worst year of his life. Tesla was constantly at a loss, and SpaceX was struggling to launch its first rocket, the Falcon 1. By 2009, Musk would be living solely on credit and loans.

But as Christmas approaches 2008, Musk receives the first good news, with SpaceX reaching an agreement with NASA to send $ 1.5 billion into space resources, and Tesla is finally finding outside investors. In June 2010, Tesla had a successful listing on Wall Street, raising $ 226 million, making it the second largest carmaker to do so since Ford's launch in 1956. To reorganize its finances, Musk sells $ 15 million worth of shares at launch.

By the end of 2015, SpaceX will be transporting more than 24 supplements to the International Space Station, breaking countless records along the way. In February 2018, the most powerful rocket built by SpaceX, Falcon Heavy, has a successful launch watched by millions. On board the rocket launched to Mars was Musk's personal Tesla Roadster.

Musk continues to come up with ideas from science fiction, with the appearance of Hyperloop and The Boring Company. Hyperloop is based on the idea of ​​a super high-speed train that will travel in a tube that should transport passengers between Los Angeles and San Francisco in about 30 minutes. The Boring Company's mission is to build underground tunnels between America's major cities to create areas of fast congested traffic.

 South Africa is facing problems in 2018, when it decides to be part of the personal business council of US President Donald Trump, a decision strongly criticized by public opinion. He leaves the council after Trump pulls America out of the Paris Agreement on global warming. In the same year, he wrote on Twitter that he would like to transfer Tesla to the private sector for $ 420 per share and that he would already have interested investors.

His plan, however, does not take shape because it receives a lot of summonses and lawsuits from the SEC, the body that governs these passes. After a lengthy trial, Musk is found guilty of making false statements and having to pay fines of $ 20 million. He must also step down as the company's boss, and Tesla must set up a committee that will focus on communicating South Africans in public.

The year 2020 proved to be one of the most successful for his two companies. SpaceX completes an agreement with NASA to send astronauts into space aboard the company's rockets for the first time in November. Tesla entered the S&P 500 index in December among the top 500 companies, which increased its shareholding value considerably. Now, the company's capitalization is approaching $ 500 billion.

Due to these successes, but especially to the growth in value of Tesla, Elon Musk was declared on January 7, 2021 the richest man in the world with an estimated fortune of 187 billion dollars. It outperformed Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, who had held the title since July 2015.
