They do day time ones for Christenings..and apparently the bigger the Bangs..the more Money you have..it is a status thing.....
Who needs Fizz when you can get damn good cava for a euro..?...do you have a Christmas day/New Years day beach party there..?
Here instead of visiting each others houses..everyone just meets up on the beach in santa hats..their dogs too.
Some people do bbq's some take cool boxes..someone will kick of some live music..skiffle band..and the bins overflow with cava bottles.
Oh..and there is always someone who will dive in for a New Years swim...
Being an anti-social cow I avoid it all.....when I was sick.. picking up the bugs from everyone wanting hugs and kisses would ramp up my pain problem..so I kept well away.
Stop Flu Epidemics..Ban hugging and kissing over the Holidays...you know it makes everybody Sick in January.
We haven't got cava either, our fizz will be the gaseosa in the pomadas LOL.
No clue about the beach party, I'm happy just to celebrate indoors with hubby and the cat, and online. I'm a bit of an anti-social cow too, I don't even know what most of the Christmas lights in town look like, as I only go as far as the supermarket at the bottom of the hill! I'm no different in the UK though, everyone on my department at work would get a Christmas kiss and hug, but that'd be it. Besides, there are probably germs here that neither him or me have resistance to, so it's safer to keep away!
