Although most New Yorkers would like to believe it, not everyone around the world is waiting for the ball to drop in Times Square.

Here are 10 ways the new year is celebrated around the world. How do you ring in the new year?

1. Spain: eat 12 grapes at the stroke of midnight
2. Denmark: at midnight, stand on a chair and jump off
3. Columbia: wear red or yellow underwear for good luck
4. Finland: drop molten tin into water. The resulting shape will forecast the next year.
5. China: scare away bad spirits with dragon dances, lion dances and plenty of fire crackers
6. Japan: strike a temple bell 108 times to curb 108 desires that torment humankind
7. Denmark: throw old dishes at friends’ and loved one’s houses
8. Peru: burn elaborate effigies of notable people from the previous year
9. Scotland: first footer- the first person who steps into your house in the new year will set your luck for the next year. Traditionally the best “first footers” are considered tall, black-haired men bearing gifts
10. Norway: prepare rice pudding with one whole almond mixed in. Whoever gets the lucky almond will have wealth and luck in the New Year
