A failing grade in my old high school. Of course, in today’s school systems I’d be given a pat on the back a participation trophy and advanced a grade. Ron 11 months ago New Zealand is before Australia so someone of your researchers goofed! Beth 11 months ago Here in the South we eat black eye peas on New Year’s Day not Eve. Patty L 11 months ago 4/10… Yikes… guess I’m New Year’s illiterate! God forgive us and bless us in 2024. America needs to repent and turn back to the Lord! Dianne 11 months ago 6/10 didn’t know anything about New Years in other countries. John Bass 11 months ago 4/6 It appears I know almost nothing about New Years and Traditions, but I’m pretty sure New Zealand is before Australia. Old Silk 11 months ago I blew it but good, and I still don’t care how other countries celebrate the New Year. J. FARLEY 11 months ago 5 for 10 when I was 8 My Dad’s aunt Served Black-eyed Peas at Sunday dinner after Church, and I told them they were the worst beans I ever eat, on the way home my mother gave me some wall-to-wall counseling inside the car, I never said that again, but I never eat another Black-eyed pea to this day. JKHero 11 months ago So, what is the trick? Do folks in New Zealand not “celebrate” New Year’s? Each day plainly starts in New Zealand before it starts in Australia. Do folks in New Zealand “observe” the day rather than “celebrate” it? Do they “mourn” it? Do they ignore it? What is the trick? Loretta 11 months ago 6 of 10 – agree with those who say that New Zealand is first. Vito 11 months ago 50% – I only got the ones right that I knew, the others I never heard of & couldn’t even guess them right. New Zealand before Australia by 2-hours. Here we go again, I’m unable to post, so back to the old game of copy & paste. This makes 2 days this week. Fredrick 11 months ago 4/10 I’ve got to quit drinking so much at New Years maybe I’d know more about it. Happy New Years to All !!! Sue 11 months ago Potatoes; not potato’s. Danm 11 months ago Doing pretty good till “HOGMANAY” And just how do you “kiss everyone in the room at midnight”?? Kreu 11 months ago I am with Jones, below. But not too disappointed in my 60, as new year’s has never been a big deal for me, and I’m usually in bed by then anyway, all that midnight stuff is after my bedtime! 🙂 MarySummer Summerhill 11 months ago 9 out of 10 Terri 11 months ago Australia is incorrect. New Zealand is the correct answer (they are an hour ahead). lilly 11 months ago 7/10 Danm 11 months ago Doing pretty good till “HOGMANAY” showed up!! Just how does one “KISS EVERYONE IN THE ROOM AT MIDNIGHT”?? Happy New Year everyone… Melinda 11 months ago Miserable, only 4 right. Oh, well, try again next week. Ann 11 months ago 9 out of 10-a lot of good guesses! Ron 11 months ago Dismal – 4/10. In my defense, New Year’s has never been a holiday I cared much for; other than the fact it’s another day off from work, it holds no great appeal to me. KateL 11 months ago 6/10. All guesses except for question #2.
