New Year's Eve remains one of the most beloved holidays for Albanians, and preparations began several days ago to ensure that the evening of December 31st is special and complete.
Fireworks, sweets, traditional dishes, television programs, and illuminated trees are just some of the details that make this holiday so special compared to others.
In addition to these, Albanians also maintain some unique traditions that are not easily found in surrounding countries. One of the most characteristic is the custom of who should enter the house first on the first day of the year.
According to tradition, when the first to enter the house is a male child, the whole year will go well and without problems. So, for those who believe in these beliefs, it is important to first allow a little boy to enter the house, and then the others.
This tradition, filled with symbolism and hope, continues to be part of Albanian New Year celebrations, bringing joy and optimism for the start of the new year.
