The traditional custom of Hungarian New Year is ()

Hungary: Whistle loudly. Hungarians who don't eat poultry will whistle loudly at the first second of entering the New Year's threshold, but not with their fingers in their mouths, but with wooden flutes, horns or whistles. Hungarians believe that whistling can ward off evil spirits and bring happiness. Hungarians are very particular about new year's food, and there are many sayings: beans and peas can maintain physical strength; Apple can stay young forever and make love last forever; Walnut can drive away disasters; Garlic makes people healthy; Honey makes life sweeter and happier. Interestingly, many Hungarians don't eat poultry meat in the New Year because they are afraid that happiness will "fly away" with these winged birds.
