soooo i know this place technically already celebrated its new year or whatever
but this time of year's more when we would celebrate it where i'm from ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
so it got me wondering what everyone else does for a new year ((⇀‸↼))
like when do you celebrate it and what do you celebrate with???
back home where i'm from, we usually send postcards
i try really hard to do them all by hand
but honestly it can get a little tiring (๑ᵕ⌓ᵕ̤)
so i end up using stamps for some of them
one of these years though, i really will do all of them by hand! !

I think I already told you this, but it might have just been in passing.

Back in Marseille, the city hosts a ton of "cruise parties", basically these extravagant dinner balls out on the ships in the gulf. I was a little too young to attend most of them, but my parents actually met during one. They're considered quite romantic, despite the crowds.

I do remember one time I got to spend the holiday in Paris. The light show on the Champs Elysées was amazing, even with the huge crowds. I think that was part of what inspired me to practice the sort of magic I did...

It's probably a betrayal of my home city to say so but


Paris. Hands down.

[ Well it's not as if there was anyone in Aef to judge her for it. Croix already knew, after all. ]

Christmas in Paris is also a lovely thing to experience.

A spectacle of lights the likes of which must be seen to truly appreciated.

It was in the symphony of those lights you could say Shiny Chariot first started to glow.

WHOA!!! So many cute faces!
That's so advanced!!! I dont even know where to find most of those symbols, wow... the last one is my favorite!! I only just learned about making little faces in text kind of recently...
Oh postcards sounds nice. where I'm from a few volunteer teams of fishermen go about half a mile out to the water to set off fireworks.... and everyone eats round foods for the day until midnight because it's supposed to bring good luck because they're shaped like coins? so lentils, umm mandarins, stuff cut in circles like potatoes and carrots and pork.... and the adults drink wine

Oh, yes! I mean, it's not really around where I'm from, like my home island, but I've had it when I was traveling! Its super yummy :-D

I think it would fit our traditions too because they are a little bit coin shaped !

oooh RICE flower, hmm! Yeah Ive never used that...
That sounds tasty!
You should share with everyone if you figure out how to make it so everyone can try!
Or, maybe we can all do it together! Making food with other people is really fun
