On December 27th I received several gifts from friends, among them, a bottle of Apple Wine, when I saw that gift immediately went through my mind my aunt 
On December 30 I agreed with my aunt to dry her hair, and then dry mine that December 31, and then we would all go early to my grandmother's house, being that, the place where we were going to meet to spend New Year's Eve.
The next day (December 31), my aunt told me that a neighbor who is a hairdresser would cut and dry her hair, that we should go to her house at 11:45 am, to leave early, and thus help my grandmother with the things that needed to be done. I was still in bed, laying down, because she warned me very early, so that I would have time to do everything, well the truth is that my aunt knows that she has a very slow niece! (it takes a long time) XD XD XD. I dried my hair, packed my backpack with the things I was going to wear that night, and went with my mom to my aunt's house.
When I arrived, my aunt had not yet arrived, my cousin was washing the car, so I decided to help him, you will say that I'm a little crazy! because after being a while drying my hair, to leave it super smooth, I started to wash the car, knowing that I could lose the drying XD XD XD, well I did it, aware of all this, I had fun joking with my cousin, while helping him, and I ended up with wet pants XD XD XD, because I sat on one of the seats of the car and water had fallen there, so you can imagine!, I regret not having taken pictures of that moment, it would have been very funny!. When we finished washing the car, we left!
When we got to my grandmother's house, we started arranging the tables, we still had to make the salad, my dad and I were in charge of chopping the ingredients that this one has; my younger brother went to the bakery for bread, to eat something and thus last until night XD XD XD, yes!, we are gluttons!, Christmas dinners are always served very late.
The night arrived and we all had to get ready, when it was my turn to take a bath, while I was in the shower, I saw a cockroach, and I ran out like crazy!, thank God I grabbed the towel before leaving the bathroom! XD XD XD, it could have been worse!, this was the show of the night, the reason for everyone's laughter, after my scare, I confess that I laughed a lot with them, it was really a very funny moment XD XD XD. In a post I made, I told them that I am terrified of that animal See here.
It was time for dinner!, that night we were able to taste some delicious Hallacas, accompanied with rice, black roast, chicken salad and ham bread. Everything was delicious!.
Below are some of the pictures we took that day as a family.
After dinner, we all sat in front of the house, some neighbors arrived and stayed with us until 2:00am, which was the time when we all went home. I was happy to see a lot of fireworks (we had not seen that in that area for some years), we all enjoyed that moment!, contemplating the play of lights that adorned the sky.
I hope you also had a nice end of the year! May this new year come loaded with many blessings for everyone!
Happy New Year 2023 🥂✨…
