There is nothing better than tradition - it gives us a look back at the past and a support for the future. We can find traditions in everything, but we do not always manage to fulfill them due to lack of time or because we are not familiar enough with them.
The traditions of the holidays are most often followed - to clean the home as follows, to decorate it, to offer the appropriate ones according to tradition dishes on the table.
New Year's Eve it is also accompanied by traditions, although over time they are less and less performed and fewer and fewer people know and pay attention to them. But since we are not talking about something impossible to do, let us try to preserve it and continue it in time so that future generations can take something from the past and apply it in the future.
New Year's table includes all sorts of things - the idea is to have crowded table with all kinds of delicious dishes so that the whole next year can go this way - to have plenty.
Mandatory ingredients from the New Year's table are pork, turkey, garlic, wheat, honey, walnuts, various nuts, wine and champagne, citrus fruits.
Dishes on the New Year's tablewhich must be present are:
- Pie with luck
- Coin bread
- Pickles
- Various dried appetizers
- Cake or pumpkin
A pine branch should be placed in the middle of the festive table, and the people who celebrate should be dressed in festive clothes, if possible new. The whole festive table should be very well arranged - pay attention not only to the dishes, but also to the way they are arranged and look.
The pie is broken by the man in the house, the table is burned with incense - to a large extent the customs overlap with those on Christmas Eve.

Tradition dictates that the oldest person in the house should turn the New Year's pie three times.
Then he puts it on the table and everyone takes the piece that is in front of him. This tradition is observed in almost every Bulgarian family - do not forget that the pie is cut after the New Year.
