Hello Sammy,
How've you been? It's been a long
time
since we last
talked. I was so happy when I saw your message! It's been so hectic at work so I'm not having too much free time
, but let me know if you have some time
next week and I'll call you so we can catch up!
Regarding your project about celebrating New Year
in different countries, I'll tell you a bit about our traditions for that time
of the year
.
For a great number of Uruguayan people is the most important day of the year
because it is considered by them as an opportunity to change whatever they want to change in their lives. People in my country usually have dinner with their relatives and friends. Everyone dresses in something white and kind of formal. Once we had dinner, at 11:59pm everyone went to the beach to see a great show of fireworks, after that, some people went to sleep while
others went to a dance club.
What I most like about New Year
's Day is the time
that I spend with my whole family, we always have a lot of fun, eat delicious meals, and have a great time
remembering good memories!
Hope to have helped you with your project! Let me know if you want to know something else!
I hope to see you soon! I miss you!
Lots of love,
