The winter solstice, or the shortest day of the year, occurs on December 21 or 22. In ancient times, this day was seen as a time of darkness and evil when the forces of chaos were at their strongest. As a result, many cultures have traditions and folklore surrounding the solstice that are meant to ward off evil spirits and bring good luck in the new year.

One such tradition is the practice of playing tricks on people on New Year's Eve. In some cultures, it is believed that if you can make someone laugh on New Year's Eve, they will be happy and prosperous in the coming year. In other cultures, it is believed that playing tricks on people on New Year's Eve will help to drive away evil spirits.

Whatever the reason, playing tricks on people on New Year's Eve is a fun and harmless way to celebrate the holiday. If you are looking for a way to add some extra fun to your New Year's Eve festivities, here are a few ideas:
