burning"mr. old year" in columbia

Tweet

My home is in Columbia.In our country we have a very fun tradition. We make a big boy doll. This doll represents the old year. We dress the man with old clothes from each member of the family. We put many things inside the doll. Often we put things we don't want. If something makes us sad, we put that thing in tthe doll, Sometimed we even put fireworks in it.Then, we burn the doll on New Year's Eve at midnight. We try to forget the bad things from the old yaear. We hope this will help us start the New Year with happy feelings.
