Describe a custom from your country that you would like people from other countries to adopt

Each country has its own customs and traditions. This custom has been practiced for generations and it is considered as a part of the local culture.Some customs are useful for others to follow.In my country one of the most important customs that I would like people from other countries to adopt is "Nowruz".

Nowruz is the name of the New Year in Iranian calendar. It marks the first day of spring and beginning the year in Iranian calendar and it lasts for 13 days. It is to some extent international since it is celebrated in other countries as well,especially those around Iran. Moreover, It is accepted by the United Nations as an international festival.

It is a time of great joy for people.Before Nowruz ,people do house cleaning and it is a part of preparations for the new year.On the last Tuesday before it ,bonfires are lit to jump over and children gather coins. Typically, on the first day of Nowruz, family members gather around the table, with the Haft Seen on the table or set next to it, and await the exact moment of the arrival of the spring. At that time gifts are exchanged. On the eve of the New Year or the next day, the younger members of the family visit the elderly and exchange gifts and presents. Usually they have a formal lunch or dinner together and express the best wishes for each other for the coming year. The last day of the ceremony, that is the 13^th of the New Year, people go to the country to respect nature and to remove evil fate from their lives.

In my opinion, in Nowruz people are happy and children are delighted. It wipes out the enmity and brings joy and friendship to all. People have the opportunity to relax, leave their troubles and worries behind. They can enjoy the nature and go on a trip to other parts of the country or travel abroad.

In summary, I would like to recommend "Nowruz", one of the most important customs in Iran, for people around the world and it would benefit many countries all around the world, so that they can enjoy the present moments.
