1. Suitcase run!
So you want to travel next year!.. Well.. at exactly 12 o ‘clock et out of your house and run at your max speed around your entire block with one or more suitcases on each hand. The faster you go the higher the chances you’ll have to end up travelling next year.
You can also set a race with your relatives… the one that arrives last doesn’t gets to travel. Or a competition between couples! At least, if you don’t win, the physical activity will give you a second air to keep drinking and enjoy your night 🙂
If you are not into travelling is still fun to see your family, friends and neightbors running around like idiots 🙂
2. Sexy yellow underwear
Do you need some extra money this coming year?? this one is for you!
The morning of the 31st or a couple days before, go to the nearest underwear store and buy some yellow panties or your preference. They MUST be ALL yellow! if not it doesn’t work!
Wear them before 12 o’clock and spend some time with them. they will assure you better financial results for the next year. You’ll be loaded!!!
p.s. They don’t necessarily have to be sexy. is just nicer 🙂
3. Eat your 12 grapes
Each grape symbolizes one month of the year and you get a wish for each grape.
Grab 12 grapes in your hands. when the clock strikes 12 start think of a wish for january and eat the first grape. Then, think on a wish for february! and eat the second grape.. and so on. So u get to a wish per grape you eat.
As usual, you are not allowed to tell anyone what you wished or you will ruin it.
4. Start with the right foot!

7. “Año viejo” doll
The “año viejo” (old year) is a real size doll that represents something you want to leave behind in the “old year”, and how could be better to leave things behind than burning them!
The morning of the 31st of december the male members of the family prepare the doll. When the clock strikes 12 you go to the street or any clear space and start it with some petrol and matches.
Off course, in mayor cities in colombia this dolls have been banned for a good reason, there where lots of accidents with this dolls. But u can still see them in rural areas of the country.
Did you find it cool? Here how to make one! Very easy.. grab some old clothes you don’t use anymore. Go to your local firework smuggler and buy as much fireworks as you want.
Fill the clothes with paper, cloth and the fireworks kind of making the shape of a person. Saw the pieces together and finally give it your special touch (a hat, a mustache, etc).
You can also write what you are burning, the name of the Año viejo, a message or whatever on a piece of paper and attach to it.
Here some Año viejo ideas..
that’s it! Celebrate!!
