There, after we talked and updated our situations, we went to the kitchen / dining romm / living room and prepared it for the celebration.
Then, some neighbours came over and did ''Kaladu'': They were dressed funny, and danced through the living room while they were singing ''Kaladu Kaladu''. After that, we ate cookies with them, and they went to go and sing at the next neighbours' place.
Then we wrote letters to ourselves, about what we want to do in the next year, and we made a handprint on them. Then we wrote stuff which we want to leave behind in 2015 on other papers, and made little paperballs from them.
At midnight, we were in the garden, and we shot some rockets, and burnt the papers with the things we want to leave behind in a little campfire. We also but a red string around a branch of a christmas tree, also for bad things we want to leave behind, and burned that branch, too (it seems like the Latvians have a lot a stuff which they want to leave behind).
After the little firework, we went inside to eat. The food was delicious, and way too much (no problem, we ate it for breakfast on the next day).
After some more talking, joking, laughing etc. we went to bed very tired (by the way, when I woke up on the next morning, I found out that a cat was sleeping ON my head).
On the next day, we were tired, and there still was a lot of food and outside was a lot of snow, so we decided to stay one more day. We went to some neighbours to do the ''Kaladu''-thing, and in the evening played games and ate again, and we had a lot of fun.
This was one of the best new years in my life ♥
All the photos which I'll add weren't taken by me (I'm more an enjoying-the-moment-and-not-taking-photos-person), they're taken by Franka, and I like them a lot.
I hope you had a nice Silvester, too!
Have a great day!
