New Year's eve is a very special and positive day, every thirty-first of December is one of my second favorite day of December. December is like the time of the year where I feel the days more alive and active, I just feel so much positivity in this world when is December, everywhere I go I see lights, I go to the mall there is families and beautiful lights everywhere, everything feels so positive, people are happy, and there is mostly no violence happening.
But once it comes to december twenty four, twenty five, and the thirty one is one of my most favorites days, the reason why is because families get together, have parties, and presents, but when it comes to the thirty first is one hella of a night because I get to go outside and pop fireworks with my cousins or family, what I like doing the most is throwing fireworks at people and scare them but one of the best parts is that a new year has come, everyone giving out hugs to each other, everyones happy and posting on social media every year was my favorite compare to 2020.
I remember when I was little on the night of new years I would grab frogs and put them on an empty water bottle and then shake the water bottle and after that I would throw it up in the air and the frog would explode, and I would do that almost every time with my cousin, until I felt bad and mature from that now all we do is explode fireworks, sometimes shoot guns, and just have fun the whole night.
But there was this one new years that I´ve spent with my moms side of the family and christmas aswell, and let me tell you it was way different, I felt way different, I felt bored, and that I did not belonged and one of the reasons why is because they live so far that we would not much, so I felt like a stranger, ever since that day I would not spend holidays with that side of my moms family, but my dads family with whom I grew up with almost my whole life, but that was when I was little because now since there is more social media we can communicate more on facetime so everytime we go to one of their parties or birthday party I feel comfortable around them, but rather much more my dads side of the family.
But what I`ve learned so much this past years is that family is where all the love and joyful things are at so you got to appreciate your days with them.
What inspired me to do my writing was my thoughts and thinking because when I was thinking about what to write about, out of nowhere I thought about december and what days are my favorites and they were new years night and christmas night too, and then I told myself what can I add to it and the idea came into my head of what I`ve experienced in does days on my past.
