The clouds draped the entire city this whole month with a few short sunny days.
Almost the entire December has rain, and not to mention the super cold weather but without it won't be the same. With cold sweater nights everyone is out in the city but what would the holidays be without people to celebrate it with.
We went to buy grocery early one morning prior to Christmas Eve and at 4:45 am, the sun just went out and the cold seeps to the bone but it doesn't matter anyway because the grocery was for Christmas and for the get together with my relatives.
My Uncle & Aunty from Norway invited us last Christmas Eve. I kinda lost my introverted side, must be the chocolates that made it😏.
It was weird how that Christmas Eve went--I never should have tried vodka.
Our Christmas Eve dinner in the house was moved to the next day, on Christmas day and this time it was for my parents.
It is weird how the year ends. The night is so much alive like people who once were busy had more time this month, more busy setting the tables and the atmosphere like who cares if we sleep in the morning because we will be awake all night long.
We walk around the village this night with our cousins, just like before when the year is about to end, it will be with them towards our old hangout to the woods. We talked about the other worldly creatures on the way to the hill like the sigbin (werewolf like) and fairies when I know if someone would see one, we would run and I would be the slowest runner.
I thought there are a lot of things I could write this late December but only a few about the holidays.
Tomorrow is the New Year's Eve and we'll sing our hearts out with videoke, we'll cook sticky rice to welcome the year (the tradition), I'll bake brownies again and make a dessert tower more different from the fruit tower last Christmas.
And this time, there would be no vodka.
🍻 Happy New Year Everyone 🍻
