yes we call it Norouz, it is the first days of spring, we have Haftseen that is a table which has 7 things which start with S in Persian, like Vinegar,Kind of dish prepared from the juice of germinating wheat,Sea-buckthorn,Brunette,Sumac,Apple,Coins and also we have mirror and flowers and sweet on it, each of them is sign of something. All family gather around the table till the new year starts, people go to each other house to pay a visit , kids get lots of presents and money, it goes round for 13 days, on the 13th day which is last day of Norouz (calls Sizdahbedar) people spend the day outside picnicking and have good time with family and friends using fresh air of spring.
