I’ve got up from my bed with the excitement of another new year. The calendar was 31 December again. I prepared a delicious breakfast for myself right away. Just as I was eating, I thought that we would celebrate the new year with my friends and after I finished my breakfast, I went out.
I went out in my thick coat, colorful scarf, warm beanie and long pants. There my friend Mehmet called out to me: Can, come on, let’s have some snowball fights!”. We built trenches from snow and walls from stone. At that time, Boran, Hakan, Mustafa and Arda also saw us and came over to us. We were two groups having three person. Boran, Hakan and I are one; Arda, Mustafa and Mehmet had become a team. That was so fun. Then we had a snowman contest. There were 6 beautiful snowmen.
Afterwards, we entered the city’s largest shopping center, which was right in front of us, and we dispersed to buy each other gifts. I bought a suit for Mehmet, perfume for Boran, a funny t-shirt for Hakan, a Liverpool uniform for Martin and a colorful blouse for Alexander. After about two hours we got together again and immediately bought a Christmas tree and various decorations. We were even thinking of setting off fireworks, but we gave up because we were going to celebrate the new year at home.
We returned home immediately. It was 18:00. An hour later, we were going to go to Mustafa’s house, since the biggest house is his. At that time, I placed the presents in the Christmas box. Then I set off. Unfortunately, I was going to walk this road in this cold weather. But I do it for a celebration. I arrived at Martin’s house at 6:45 pm. When other friends arrived, we knocked on the door.
As soon as Mustafa opened the door, we quickly entered the house and immediately arranged the Christmas tree. We put it in the corner of the living room and decorated it with different ornaments. We put the shining star on the top. We put the boxes with our gifts under it. Then we had a nice dinner and opened our presents. Boran bought me a t-shirt, Hakan bought me a very cute teddy bear, Mustafa bought me a thick coat, Alexander bought me an England national team jersey and Mehmet bought me a very nice little coffee machine. After we finished opening our gifts, we opened very nice and very entertaining games from Play-Station. We played games for 6 players such as Fifa 23, Minecraft, Basketball 2023.
Mustafa had ordered Christmas desserts before we arrived and we ate them too. It tasted very good. It was 22:45. We immediately got our bingo and opened that famous American New Year’s program. We played 3 hands of bingo. I won the first round, Arda won the second round and Mehmet won the third. Of course, our goal was not to win, just for having fun. Now it was only seconds before the new year. And, just then someone knocked the door. It was the cashier working in our supermarket who knocked on the door. He came to us to celebrate the new year. We immediately let him in and started the countdown 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and 0. It was 2023! We were too happy. Cause it was the new year and we celebrated it together.
