20.7. How do you celebrate the festival?
In
my culture, it’s more very family-oriented holiday. We usually have
a special
family dinner at home followed by the countdown to midnight. However, in my
culture we add something special to it. At the clock ticks down to midnight, we
eat 12 grapes which signify a different wish for each month. After this, we go
out to the city or town streets to drink with our friends and wish them a happy
new year.
20.8. What is the most popular festival in your country?
Definitely Christmas, since I’m from a Catholic country. Nearly every town and
city goes out of the way to
deck (decorate) the streets out with Christmas lights
and decorations. However, unlike other countries, we celebrate the epiphany,
or day of the three wise men, on January 6 just as much at the 25th. This is the
day in which we exchange gifts and watch parades.
