 - MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR!! - 

Hope that every one had a very nice Christmas and New Years, with your loved ones, having a good time and a big smile. :)

Who did even notice, time went by so fast. Christmas is already before yesterday and a whole new year ahead.

I had a really awesome Christmas and New Years, it was a little bit different compared to what I am used to, but still so amazing and memorable.

Christmas and New Years for me usually mean to spend time with my family, celebrate 24th of December having a good time listening to music, eating while waiting until its 12 o'clock at the middle of the night and then start to open all the Christmas presents and after go to sleep and then wait till its New Year to be the whole family together again, dance the whole evening, eating more and more food until it's 10 seconds till midnight, do the countdown and hug every body then start doing something we call in Colombia for "augueros" and that means that in our culture we do some kind of 'games' so the next year comes well , for example to eat 12 grapes, making a wish for each month of the year or run with a bag 3 times around your house for more traveling dure the year, etc.

While here in Australia I experienced a little bit different, what actually made it even more great than the other holidays!

Starting with the fact that the main celebration of Christmas is the 25th of December. What maid it quite fun because while I was celebrating here I was still able to wish my family in Merry Christmas the 24th in Colombia because of the 15h difference.

In the morning of the 25th to wake up and go directly to open the presents under the tree and the ones that "Santa" left on the boot. After the whole bunch of really nice presents where open was time to get ready to go for Christmas lunch with family and friends. When ready and with some extra kilos from all the food we start head home to keep celebrating, with more eating, playing what in our case was Cards Agains Humanity what lead to lots of laugh. Later at some point, time for bed.

26th boxing day when everything is crazy cheep, what is amazing but dangerous, specially for an exchange student with weight limit of bbs, what I might think that will be a problem, but still a long way till then.

And then on the 31st of December, last day of the year. We went with our family to our friends party. Where we surprising, ate more really good food, spent time with some great people, having fun, listening to music. Waiting until it was a little bit before midnight to walk down the street and watch the fireworks in the city. Then next day, wake up and head home.
