The new year has arrived!

Many years ago, Germans wanted to scare away evil spirits. They believed
that these spirits were afraid of loud noises.

Nowadays, most people don't believe in evil spirits, but they still like
to make noise.

At midnight, they fire off coloured rockets and let of firecrackers.

These rockets and firecrackers can only be bought for four days: from
the 28th to the 31st of December [or maybe from the 27th? Not sure.].

Many Germans also like to eat "Berliner" and drink sparkling wine or
champagne then. Berliner are deep-fried balls of dough with jam inside
("they resemble dumplings a bit and contain fruit that has been
mashed"); I believe a similar thing is called "jelly doughnut" in the
States.
