My intention was to stay up and watch a T.V. program leading to the countdown to the new year. I guess I was so tired, I fell asleep.

Staying up, watching the countdown on TV used to be a tradition at my parents and at 00:00h. firing firecrackers and fireworks. As a kid I sometimes also went and slept a bit and my dad was the one to wake us up. After fireworks our first prayers as a family in the New Year.

Now that we live on our own, it changes because of new experiences, new places and faces. I think that when we've settled in it might change.
