I haven't "celebrated" bringing in the new year in ages....till I came to Mati.
We attended church services, had a huge feast afterward and then watched "One Night with the King". Conveniently, this ended at 11:55 pm, and we proceeded straight to the street in front of the compound where our younger residents were launching rockets and lighting fireworks.
The racket of honking car horns, stereos and many firecrackers welcomed 2008 to Tindalo-Yakal St. Just to make certain we were not overlooked, the noisemaking went on nearly an hour. But no one complained....it was city-wide!
Most everyone then went to the house for yet another feast, but I retired to my room, finally sleeping at around 2 a.m. It was a pleasant evening, but I can only do it once every 364 days!
