The most popular tradition in Chile is to sleep in a cemetery. It may sound odd, but it is a way to spend the New Year with the loved ones that have moved on from this world. The families spend the night of New Year’s sleeping near the graves of their loved ones, and while it does not ensure good luck or fortune or anything else, it is a simple way to remind themselves of those that have come before them and spend one day a year with their spirits.
