Make sure you bring that kiss in with that one A look at the history of the New Years Eve kiss. New Years Eve is the last hurrah of the year, the culminating event in a holiday binge of eating, drinking and celebrating. Its a time to don glitzy outfits, reflect on the past, and ponder future resolutions. And then theres the kiss at the stroke of midnight. Whether you ring in the new year by watching the Times Square ball drop from your living room TV or toasting champagne at an upscale nightclub, tradition makes a case for celebrating the new year with people you enjoy. According to English and German folklore, the first person you encounter in a new year—and the nature of this encounter—sets the tone for the rest of the year. A kiss is about strengthening ties you wish to maintain in the future. If a couple celebrating together doesnt take the time to lock lips, it doesnt bode well for the relationship. For single people, theres a superstition that not kissing anyone portends a year of loneliness… and probably a lot of bad onlinedating. (OK, I made that last part up.) Then again, kissing some sleazy random who may or may not have a girlfriend is worse than kissing no one at all.
