My favorite holiday!

I decided to spend my New Year's Eve 2010 in Bucaramanga! (At that point, I was still living in Venezuela). I needed a time off from my crazy and chaotic city (Caracas), so I told my family "I'm going to travel to Colombia. Who's going with me?". I do not know how hahaha but I conviced them all!. I traveled here with the idea of spending a different holiday! and it was different! hahaha for that holiday is the reason I am living here now!.  I did not do something special, but it's my favorite holiday because I could be with my family! We used to had dinner together on Christmas and New year's Eve, but we did not use to spend the whole day together, and that day, we could! My sister couldn't go to her boyfriend's house, my brother couldn't go to his friends' house, I couldn't go out with my friends after dinner! hahaha and I loved that we couldn't do those things! because we needed a time for us, to reconnect us as a family! We were happy! That day we remembered how much we love each other! That was the only thing that made it special! At that point in my life I did not know how difficult is not to be with the people you love in those days!. To be honest with you, I did not like Christmas and New year's Eve. I was like "The Grinch". hahaha but now I do not see that date as a holiday, I see it as my chance to be with my family!. Since that New Year's Eve, we haven't had another holiday together! That is why my goal for this year is to be with them, there in my beautiful city, and be able to see this with my own eyes!

Isn't this beautiful? ... This is how my city actually looks on a New Year's Eve!
