The end of the year

I cleaned the basement in my house because the freezer which my friend's husband bought coming yesterday. Then I remembered Japanese custom.
In Japan, we have to clean the whole house at end of the year even a company or school, too.
We don't leave any a dust or a grime for the new year.
I didn't like it when I lived in Japan. However, it is very good custom I think.
Cleaning the house is to think about thanks to my happiness life in a year.
Do you have any good customs at end of the year in your country?

In the United States, we don't really have any customs connected with the new year. We just often have a party New Year's Eve and often make New Year's resolutions. We say what we will do differently in the coming year.
