My favorite festivity is "new year", it is celebrated the first of january and the people prepare the celebration in the night of the 31 of december. The origin it's related with the gregorian calendar, that started the year in the first of january. In the afternoon in every house of Chile the families celebrated with eachother, talk and make family living. The people eat chicken or turkey with duchess potatoes and salad and at twelve p.m. o'clock that begin the new year all the people open the champagne and drink a lot, a lot, a lot. Then, the people leave their home and go to the street and hug every person including the carabineros. At the same moment, fireworks start all over the country, and more alcohol runs by the bodies of every person, the people drink pisco, beer, chicha, pipeño, earthquake, and every combination than you can imagine like chocoron. This are the reasons that make new year my favorite festivity.
