Everybody does it here and all the families get together in one of the houses. Every year we celebrate. We eat turkey with cranberries. We celebrate because it is a new year. We count from 5 to 0 and when the counting is finished all of the noise starts.
Some families go to restaurants and others have parties in their houses.
Some people don't only celebrate with their families, but with their friends. I usually celebrated with my family and with my friends too. I do the parties in my house sometimes. This goes on for about 20 minutes. The Sri Lankans have quite a few celebrations for New Year.
