Thin strips of metalic foil can be used as decorations on a Christmas tree (it is called "lamenta"). It can be draped over the branches of a Christmas tree and looks quite nice when the lights reflect of it.

I think it's "lametta".

There is never a "good time" to break up a relationship. In almost all cases, someone ends up hurt. Hurt can be healed over time and usually the person can learn from the experience and move on to more rewarding relationships with their new found wisdom. However, how you break up is important. Acting maliciously or being intentionally hurtful doesn't help anyone. Therefore, only you can answer this question. If breaking up before some event, under certain circumstances, or in a particular way is going to being intentionally hurtful to someone, then society would generally consider that "bad".

Nobody celebrates the New Year first, because there is no natural beginning to the year. Every culture decides when to start the year, and nobody is wrong or right.

Yes, Italy does celebrate New Year's Eve. There is even a special New Year's Eve celebration known as La Festa di San Silvestro where families come together and feast.

The celebration of New Year's Eve is a means of insuring the continuation of life. On 31 December a threat to the New Year appears in the guise of the Grim Reaper. His object is to use his scythe to kill the New Year baby who symbolizes the New Year. Noisemaking is the principal means of thwarting the Grim Reaper. When midnight arrives with the babe secure, the celebrants sing AULD LANG SYNE, "For old time's sake," to welcome another year of existence. DAVID F. TRASK

If you mean "is Irish the same as English", the answer is no. Irish Gaelic is a distinct language. Hiberno-English is a form of English.

The U.S. Navy will usher in the New Year with eight bells.

In the U.S. Navy, watches are conducted in 4-hour increments ending on the hour, so from 0000 (midnight, also 2400) to 0400 (4 am), 0400 - 0800, etc. The time bells are rung every half hour beginning with one bell at 30 minutes into the watch, and one additional bell as the half-hour increments accumulate. The sixth watch thus ends at 2400 (midnight) with eight bells. This cycle continues regardless of holidays.
