Our Home for the New Year.

We normally celebrate it at my house but this year we decided to celebrate the new year at a hotel with the whole family (husband's side). We just have some pizza and spaghetti with meatballs from Yellow Cab and a blueberry cheesecake for dessert. There was a new year countdown at the lobby but we just stayed in our room to watch the fireworks outside. This time we saw the skyline and watch many fireworks smoke free and comfortably in an air conditioned room. We also attended the anticipated mass and was able to listen to Brother Bo's message and was able to meet him personally. How did you celebrate your new year?

yes, we did have a good and enjoyable time. The last time we celebrate out of town (my family's side) was new year 2011

We celebrate New Year at home. We were not together on Christmas because I was away from home so made it a point to to celebrate New year at home.

It is not the Feast but Bro. Bo was attending the mass also and he manage to say a message for us which is really nice. But I used to attend the feast way back when Bro.Bo is the only preacher at the AFP theater

That sounds fun. I never bother much about New Year, in fact I forgot about it until I heard the fireworks going off.

for those with respiratory conditions, yes, it's better to be as far away from the fireworks as possible.
