In different nations, New Year’s Eve means different things. New Year’s Eve is known in many countries as Old Year’s Day or St. Sylvester’s Day, but in Ghana, it is named 31st NIGHT. Often popularly referred to as CROSSOVER. It’s the last day of the year, and it’s the seventh day of the Christmas season.
The New Year’s Eve celebrations normally take place in the evening, where many people dance, eat, enjoy alcoholic drinks, and watch or light fireworks to mark the New Year.
Many family heads, opinion leaders, and influential people bring their families and individuals together for a private family members-only gathering before the evening. Ghanaians believe, in particular, that all evil deeds, quarrels, loggerheads, and petty disputes must be settled in the year it took place, and indeed everyone must start on a clean sheet.
