Unexpected thing always brings joy. But people these days are more into following the old tradition without trying anything new..the scene is same here too.... the There is nothing unique that bring excitement on the festival...I guess the vibes are fading
It is our year to host the meal
Is it a family gathering or friends circle?
I love to see family coming together and preparing for the occasion. We (40 odd member,) usually go out for picnic either on Christmas day or new year day. Everyone contribute in their own way. The atmosphere is much better than just visiting and enjoying with wine and food.
Family only here. In Australia, it was often a barbecue kind of thing with friends too. But here, it is pretty strict.
This sounds like a great day. I wish there was more of this culture here. I get it for Christmas though, as it is definitely an indoor event, but it doesn't even happen in the summer here.
