I have no idea what the New Year has in store for me, but I do know that I enjoyed celebrating with the people closest to me. My dad always offers his house to the family to come over and celebrate on New Year’s Eve with a huge Barbeque and dinner. He and I prepare the food every year and other relatives bring over other dishes and desserts for the whole family. I love doing this because I get the chance to eat some great food and fellowship with love ones. All of the men watch the football game (if there is one on) and debate on which team is the best, as most men do. The women talk about us and how glued to the television screen we always are, while they talk amongst themselves and play with the babies. The kids play with my video games and run around my house breaking things. I’m big on spending time with my family, so the environment itself always warms me inside. It feels good to see a group of people together getting along and enjoying each other’s company. We don’t do the countdown together, but my neighbors came over my house with some small popper fireworks and we cracked open a couple of beers, waiting for midnight to strike. There is a lot wrong in the world today, and because of things told to us in 2010, many people feel like we’re in our last days. Nobody truly knows when the world will end, so I expect 2012 to be a fulfilling year with great accomplishments and new journeys.
