New year

            Right after Christmas come the beloved holiday that is the passing of the year.  It’s when we make promises for the following year that we try to follow to make our lives better. Some promise to do better in school and some promise to stop drinking. Some promises are more serious then others. Mine are usually to do well in school and to have a good year. My grandparents and sometimes cousins come over to my house on new-year eve. And we usually have a big tasty dinner with lots of mashed potatoes and ham!

            New-years is the day or rather night that we celebrate the passing of the old year and welcome the new-year. This is our deadline for our promises from last year and make new ones for the next year. The tradition is that at midnight the parents, grandparents, boyfriend and girlfriend kiss at midnight.
