This
year's celebration will include two little "Monsters" my nephew and
niece. According to the circumstances we've decided to attend one of the family
fireworks at the island of Usedom. Arriving one hour prior to the start of the fireworks
we had enough time to explore from which spot we could watch the fireworks
best.
We soon found some room between all the other spectators and the kids
were excited. Before we all knew it we counted down from 10 to 0 and here we go
the spectacle started. Everyone and in particular the kids were in awe and
pretty amazed about the sheer size and duration and colours of the fireworks.
And indeed, even for us adults it was pretty spectacular.
Afterwards we made our way to the Christmas Markets nearby in order for
the kids to go for a ride on one of the carousels. Meanwhile others, like Grand
Mum, Grand Dad, Thomas and the two of us had something to eat, some German
Bratwurst, Crepes and "Glühwein".
For entertainment a band was playing and Joy was eager to watch them
perform standing at the front row....and clapping and dancing away. Just to
watch her was so enjoyable and cute. Once the band finished their gig, we also
left the Christmas Market and went home to continue our New Year's celebrations
in order to welcome another new year.
Of all things on this particular day our traditional
"Tüppelziehen" could not be left out to be mentioned and everyone
took part in it. We drew a lot of the possible four items, luck, money, bread and
a bit of worries. All together it will be another great new
year - 2019. Soon midnight arrived and we all kissed & hugged each other
followed by yet another firework and watching others.
After we arrived safely in the new year, we enjoyed a cup of coffee and
some homemade doughnuts.
Thanks Mum & Dad....they tasted awesome.
