Nakari Barrios New Year's Day is a special date in our country just as it is everywhere in the world. We always celebrate this special date by drinking champagne and having a big family dinner. This kind of celebration has been a tradition for many years. Furthermore, many people think that this special day brings good luck, and many of them wear yellow underwear to have good luck in the new year. We also write a letter asking for many wishes, and when the New Year comes, we put all those papers together and burn them to make sure that nobody can read what we wrote.
Many kids play with artificial fires, and they are given many gifts.
New Year's Day, the start of the new year is the beginning of 10 days of celebration. There are 3 main days that we celebrate. On these days, everyone has to come back to their family if they have gone out of town. On the first day at 12 midnight, the grandmother or mother in each family has to light firecrackers to receive and welcome the New Year. Then, we go to sleep to wait for the sun to rise.
