As every year for new year's eve, my family gets together in my house to have dinner, go to mass before midnight and burn the "AÑO VIEJO" this is like a big doll made of paper, wood and cardboard, the doll can be wahatever you like it to be, can be the president, the most important person of the year or even a cartoon! The reason why we do this is coz most of us believe in getting ride of all the bad stuff that happend and get redy for a fresh start this is what represents the burning of the doll, a few even make a list of the bad things and burned it with the doll. This has to be done at 12:00pm, and before this we also have more "believes or traditions" like grabbing your suitcase and walking around the block???? supposly to travel a lot next year, this I have never done it, eating twelve grapes my granma says it's for prosperity???...what grapes has to do with prosperity, don't know yet! well it sounds silly but it's so funnie to watch!
But this year my aunts said they want something new and different, so their plan is going to mass in the morning, having a fancy dinner in a hotel and staying there the whole night, even the all burning the doll tradition they want it to skip it this year or maybe burn it at 12:00 am....I was like what!!!!! noooooo, who does that, nobody ????. My dad as always said yes!! my mom said (mmmm....) and I just want to do the same as every year...!!
Well...here are some pics of last year "Años viejos"
I'll post the ones of this year later on the week!!!!
