New Year’s holidays are now over though the schools are closed some more days. In this season, sons and daughters go back home and stay with their parents and families. Our younger son came back with his wife and daughter and stayed with us for three days. Then both sons and their families left to visit their wives’ families.
New Year’s holidays have changed a lot these years. When I was young these holidays was quiet time for families. I was told not to go out on New Years day. The towns were very quiet because all the shops, stores, and restaurants were closed. It was the holiday for everyone. The only persons working were mail deliverers who were delivering New Year’s cards. But now the convenience stores are open all the time. Most stores are open on January 2nd,even on 1st. People go out and enjoy eating,, shopping, many kinds of events like concerts or sports. Yes, everything changes.
For New Years they make special food, but when I was working I didn’t. I just arranged things I bought on the plates. Now I make most of them in my kitchen! Everyone changes.
