My favorite festivity

For me the best festivity of the whole year is the new year. This festivity is at normal celebrated all over the world at the first of january, and in every country change the way how it is celebrated. In Chile we celebrate this festivity by having a especial dinner with the family and friends, and then, when the clock is close to mark the first hour of the new year, everyones goes to the places in where they can watch better the fireworks. For us, like in almost all the countries, this festivity has a very important symbolism, because it inaugarete a new period in wich everything begins again.
In my case, I traditionally celebrate this festivity in the beautiful city of Valparaiso. I normally go there with friends, and we spend all the day on the beach, waiting for the great moment. Then, when the sun comes down, we go to the "Paseo Yuguslavo" and begin to drink with the other people of the place. After the fireworks, the place (that stands over a hill) is full of people, and everybody wants to hug each other, in a wonderful euphoric atmosphere. Downstairs, in the "Plaza Sotomayor" the party starts with cumjbia style music and everyone dance and dance for the whole night. Despite the tremendous headache of the next day, the new year is the most fantastic festivity of the whole world.
