Christmas! The food, the good spirit, the gifts, the tree, the ... lights and colors? Santa!!! *acts like a kid on christmas eve*
... New Years eve is fun because of fireworks, but only if I get to light the fuse. And I always get depressed like hell whenever I start thinking about the new year and what is to come. Feels like time has passed by without me even noticing :bawling:
In Australia fireworks are not allowed, except if you work for the office that plans the city's New Year celebrations. What the Aussies do is go to watch fireworks instead of lighting the fireworks by themselves. Most Aussies would bring alcohol and make a picnic on the park while they watch fireworks and celebrating the New Year.
Going back to my story, when I was a child in Malaysia Chinese New Year was the most important holiday for us. When we moved to Australia my mother introduced Christian religions on her kids, and as a result Xmas becomes more important than Chinese New Year.
But Chinese New Year is still important. Western New year is also important to us; we would usually go out to celebrate as a family. For Xmas and Chinese New Year eves we cook ourselves but for Xmas and Chinese New Year we go out to eat.
After I move to France, I think Xmas is the most important one, my husband buys a lot of Xmas presents for his nephews and god daughter and god son. We go to my in laws for Xmas.
The French don't eat turkeys for Xmas unlike the Americans or British. They eat wild animals like bambi, fois gras (see picture below), and smoke salmon...etc for Xmas. Xmas is basically petite meals with lots of courses, I usually ended with stomach aches during Easter, New Year or Xmas, too much rich foods in comparison with my usual diet.
I don't get to celebrate Chinese New Year here because there is nobody to celebrate it with. When I bring my husband to Australia we will bring it back because my family is there. Then we will celebrate many things, very international.:v:
In New Year's eve my husband likes to feed me with glasses of champagnes then I get drunk and he likes it because he says when I am drunk I am funny and adorable! :cute: :romance:
For the previous New Year's Eve we got invited to his god daughter's place, we played fireworks and ate French foods. Again stomach-ache!:bluush:
