I know everybody celebrating New Year differently, but in Kazakhstan we have some traditions about it. Usually we call all relatives, we have a big table where 20-30 people are waiting until 11:55 pm and on the 1st channel our president Nursultan Nazarbayev gives a speech to everybody, but before that my family doing a lot of preparations. Cooking traditional meals, setting up decorations, preparing ourselves etc. It is a big event for all of us. We are saying good bye and thank you to the past year, because it was more or less successful.
