New Year's Eve

This New Year's Eve this year I was in Lebrija. We wound up going to a friend’s house for celebrating the New Year. TO celebrate the New Year everyone gathered around the table and waited for the year to come. Each strike of the clock everyone ate a grape. So with 12 strikes that's 12 grapes. This tradition is supposed to bring good luck for the New Year so hopefully I now have plenty of luck.

Afterwards we went downtown and there was a huge party in the center. Everyone was dressed up and celebrating and dancing. It was amazing to see so many people dressed up. Everyone seemed to be really enjoying themselves. I'm glad that I was able to see a lot more people than last year. In France the streets were dead but at least there was party here that lasted for an hour or so.

I wish everyone the best of luck for this New Year and many blessings for everyone.

With the power of the grapes I realized that I was truly so lucky lucky, so we celebrated in the street:
