HAPPY NEW YEAR

Happy NewYear!

I want to tell you a bit about my new years eve. My new years eve was very different this year because I am in Canada.
Here in Canada is New Years Eve not a big deal. Lots of people are going to bed to their normal time. My host family for example just had supper and than their played games and enjoyed their evening. This is nice and I really like these evenings but I think it is a tradition to celebrate the old and the new year at this day.
I met my friends at Lydias house. Unfortunately Thea and Maren weren't able to come. First we dressed up a bit. I was wearing my christmas dress. Than we had pizza for supper and we played pool.

Afterwoods we went to Ainhoas house because her parents had friends over. There we had some drinks, of course without alcohol, and we played fußball. I am so bad in fußball. Everybody who had to play with me lost. Thanks you to keep playing with me.

At half past eleven we went back to Lydias, there we tried to make our glasse nicer. So we put sugar around the border and we had christmas oranges.

First of all I have to say that their were no fireworks in Kamloops. So we were inside and watched the ball drop again. We were four girl so we had to combine all our traditions. I wanted to watch Dinner For One, so we did this at about 11.30.
Than at midnight I was standing on a chair, because Gioias wanted to jump in the new year. I had a bowl with 12 pieces of chocolate in my hand. Because a spanish traditon is it to eat during the last 12 seconds, 12 grapes but we didn't have grapes so we ate chocolate. It was so difficult to eat the chocolate so fast. And I was standing on one foot because under my foot were wishes for the new year.
After we did all this at 12.00. We went outside to jump in the snow for the first time in 2015 and that was so strange. It was quite. We were the only people outside. Nobody was there it was so quite. No happy people, fireworks or anything. But we yelled all together Happy New Year.

I was so tired, that I felt asleep after another two pool games and 10 minutes of the movie "New Years Eve".

So this was my New Years Eve. Very different but I had a lot of fun with my friends and I will do all this spanish/gioiaischen tradtions again.

Now I have less than 4 weeks left. I am sad and happy. At the moment more sad but that is okay. All the feelings I had during my last days in Germany are coming back but this time it is the other way around.

I will miss Canada so much but before I go I have a long list with things to do...
