Watch | Shred all bad memories from 2015

Was there something you didn't like about 2015 that you want to forget and start anew? Dozens of people in Times Square, New York celebrated good riddance day and used a giant paper shredder to tear apart their bad memories of 2015. Participants wrote their bad memory on a piece of paper and along with photographs, bills and other items of discontent tossed them in a large garbage bin. The event offers many a fresh start to the new year. Organizers said the idea has its roots in a Latin American tradition where people would stuff dolls with objects representing bad memories and set the doll on fire.
