Hello friends today I will pause in my usual publications because in this wonderful world of this social network in the short time that I have been in I have not found someone else from my country, which is why today I want to share how the new year is celebrated in my country which has survived one of the bloodiest civil wars and nowadays in some areas we see ourselves with the petty cancer of the criminal structures; However, in these times many Salvadorans dedicate themselves to making love works with family or private individuals, where the sacrifice of one year's work is reflected through the bonus, which is an amount of money paid to the employee as a Christmas gift from the employer.
In my country as in other Central America, the celebration of Christmas and New Year is not a festivity without gunpowder, in all cities, neighborhoods and neighborhoods begin to appear in mid-November sales of gunpowder and pyrotechnic lights, always having the traditional little stars and volcanoes for the youngest children, the chespiritos and rockets for children who are almost teenagers, and the so longed for dangerous but unique and entertaining whistlers (these are already forbidden, due to their danger, for which it is illegal to buy them) and mortars ( these have been banned from # 5 onwards, the number is the size of the mortar which is a giant rocket). There is never a lack of the legendary whistle wars, which, although illegal, are so sought after that they are bought and sold being banned. In general, these activities of gunpowder and fireworks are carried out in the early hours and at 12 midnight they are fired at the largest and noisiest mortars announcing and welcoming a new year, then we have the tradition of the 12 grapes, which are swallowed making requests for each month represented in each grape, requesting health and prosperity.
When the night arrives, our traditional meals arrive. One of our options are the delicious chicken breads with their traditional and delicious sauce, we also have the chompipollo which is a giant chicken a little smaller than the turkey which is baked and accompanied by the exquisite potato salad, also within the menu is also made as another option of loin stuffed tradition which are flakes of meat rolled into egg and ground beef with a special sauce.
In the religious part are mounted the famous births that apart from the biblical characters are placed traditional figures of the country as the bolus (drunk), sellers and beings of Salvadoran mythology as the siguanaba, the cipitio, the just judge and even some births They also carry the devil's figure. The day December 31 at midnight (12 am) is to spend as a family to give the traditional hug and in some cases like mine families gather to pray to our God to ask for stability and prosperity as a family in the year that is Approach to start.
