see in

Escort past threshold

To see in is to welcome the arrival of something, especially a new year or era: We stayed up to see in the New Year.

The phrase suggests witnessing and celebrating a transition.

To see something in someone is to perceive a quality others might miss: I don't know what she sees in him.
