Sunday, January 01, 2006New Year's in Victorias |
| First post of 2006, w00t! The first thing that comes to my mind if you mention New Year's is my family. When you come from such a close-knit family such as mine, the holiday season is usually like an annual mini-reunion. We all gather at the house in Victorias and celebrate. Cousins come home from college. Aunts and uncles who live out of town also make their way here. There are usually no less than 15 people in the house durin Christmas and New Year's Eve. As the new year approaches, we all make our way to the dining room to greet each other, then we go out back to the garage and have the usual fireworks display. At this point in time our extended family, the workers who live nearby and their children also gather around to greet and watch the fireworks. Then everyone makes as much noise as possible. Lola goes around and starts banging pots and pans together. We turn on all the vehicles and honk the horns. The dogs bark, children yell, etc etc. Then after all the noise dies down, we head back to the dining area and have a New Year's feast. Through the years, it has pretty much been the same faces gathering around. Some years there are new additions, other years (like during last year when Lolo died) that there are some subtractions, but it'll always be our family. I always look back fondly on every year we spend together and look forward to the upcoming years, hoping for the crowd to get bigger. Happy New Year's everyone! I hope you're with your family tonight, no matter how big or small. God Bless! listening to: Urbandub - A New Tattoo |
