I knew we would have a wonderful New Year celebration, always did. My mum promised she would cook the festive dinner. She said she had asked dad to do the shopping. She also said they didn't need my help. They only wanted me to come in time to see the New Year in together with them.
Everything went wrong from the start.
Dad didn't do the shopping because his car had broken down. The day before New Year's Eve when dad fixed his car he could at last go and do the shopping. Unfortunately a snowstorm began. I tried my best to stop dad from going. It was difficult as I was talking to him on the phone. My mum joined in and we both thought it was too dangerous.
I asked my parents not to worry. I decided we could do something less traditional. I added I would buy a cake and some food and bring it myself as the weather was not bad where I was. I hoped the snowstorm would stop on New Year's Eve and I would safely arrive to celebrate the holiday with my parents.
The snowstorm did stop the next day but it brought down some electriity lines.
I arrived in time. We welcomed in the New Year by candle light, ate some food, had a relaxing talk and a good laugh.
It was a very unusual New Year but certainly unforgettable!
И я не хочу сказать, что это твоя вина
Но выбранный тобою путь
Не стоит приближать столь близко в Тьму
И в местных разговорах есть пища для ума.
Удачи ;)
