2012!
New Year's Eve! So This might have been my best New Year's ever. I started off the night at dinner at our neighbors house. We had a typical new year's dinner with lots of fish of course. Also here there are quite a few traditions. At midnight, everyone eats 12 grapes for 12 months of good luck in the new year. Also if you put you ring in your champagne it is supposed to bring you good money. The last one is you are supposed to wear something red for I think good luck also. And at midnight instead of watching Times Square and the ball drop everyone watches the main square in Madrid and there are famous people there who eat the grapes and everyone eats them then. After that everyone goes to the sports center where there is a band playing. It's not just like any other town party because everyone gets dressed up in usually black dresses and button downed shirts. It's so fun! And I actually came home a little early because my feet were dying for dancing for 7 hours...early as in 7:30 in the morning. It was such a great way to start the new year!
