Answer: A Danish New Year tradition is throwing breakable dishes at neighbor’s door. Throughout the year Danish people save their old dishes and on New Year’s Eve they throw them on the doorsteps of their friends and family. The bigger the pile of broken dishes outside your house, the more friends you have!
