The kiss shared at the stroke of midnight in the United States is derived from masked balls that have been common throughout history. As tradition has it the masks symbolize evil spirits from the old year and the kiss is the purification into the new year.

I do it to start off the New Year in a good/loving mood and hope that whatever I was doing on Midnight New Years i'll be doing the rest of the year :)

Well, it guarantees a person will get at least one kiss in the year.
If done with a beloved, it is a promise and hope for a good year, shared between them.
It feels good.

Aside from the symbolic significance, I think it is because people tend to remember what they were doing at the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve.

I'd assume it's just for fun. It may have some historical/archaic meaning, but I'm not in the mood to look it up.

I guess, that's supposed to be the person you'll be with for the rest of the year if not your whole life.

It's for luck. Chinese religion. Something like that. It's an Asian tradition. Hope you find what your looking for!
