New Year's Postcard, Nengajo

Japan:  Holiday is known as Omisoka.  Send a postcard so it arrives on January 1st.
Mexico: Año Nuevo.  Eat twelve grapes at midnight.
Greece: Protohronia (New Year's Day, also St. Basil's Day).  Invite the most lucky person you know to be the first to enter your house: "Pothariko."
Russia: Decorate the New Year's tree, the Novogodnyaya Yolka, with candy.  Await the coming of Ded Moroz, Father Frost, and Snegurochka, the snow girl, on New Year's Day.
