Like many people all over the world£¬ Americans enjoy celebrating the arrival of each new year. Almost everyone makes an occasion of New Year¡¯s Eve in order to[1] see the old year out and welcome the new one. In New York£¬ a favorite gatheringplace on December 31 is New York City¡¯s Times Square.
Thousands of Americans and international tourists crowd this famous spot £¨at the intersection of Broadway and Seventh Avenue£© and crane their necks to watch for "Happy New Year" to flash across the electronically controlled sign that moves around. When the moment arrives bedlam breaks forth. Bells ring£¬ whistles blow£¬ people cheer with their happy excitement.
The custom of visiting friends£¬ relatives and neighbors is one of the popular activities on New Year¡¯s Day. This activity is called Open House. The custom of Open House was inaugurated by George Washington during his first term as President. On January 1£¬ 1789£¬ President Washington first opened the doors of his official residence to all who wished to come. An Open House is just what the name implies £º the front door is left open.
Inside the door there is a spirit of relaxed cordiality£¬ and guests are free to arrive and leave when they like. Invitations may say simply£¬ "Drop in after the game" or "Come drink a New Year¡¯s toast with us[4]". On January 1£¬ now£¬ families hold "Open House" so that their friends can visit them throughout the day to express good wishes for the new year.
