New Year's Eve (written by Franzi)

Hey guys,
I'm going to tell you about our New Year's traditions.
Some families don't celebrate the New Year, but my family does! Every New Year's Eve, we eat raclette, some pieces of pineapple and mushrooms. Some salami and ham..... oh and cheese. Especially raclette-chesse. It's so good if it pulls long strings. I love it. Moreover, we put sausages and small pieces of chicken on the raclette grill. Yummy! After this we do "Bleigießen"! It's a custom of fortune-telling by pouring molten lead into cold water and reading the shapes created. It's always great fun do guess what the piece of lead could look like. This year my piece looked like a dragon, that's really cool, isn't it? Doing "lead-pouring" is always great fun, and after we had done this, my family and I sat around the table and played "Activity".... that's so cool. And when it's midnight, we give a present to each other and wish good luck! Then we watch the fireworks that some families fire into the sky but we have none. My family prefers just watching the fireworks! I hope I've given you an impression of our New Year's traditions.
Yours,
Franzi ;*
