Happy New Year!! Since it's the start of the new year, we figured that it wouldn't be right to be talking about spooky stories, so instead, we'll be diving into some new year traditions and beliefs from around the world; covering a wide span from a friendly Japanese Santa Claus, to colourful underwear, to even burning effigies.
