New Year’s Eve in Europe
a. New Year’s Eve is the night people make a wish, decide to begin a new life, change their lives. The best way to do so is to celebrate New Year's Eve in a European country. This year I wanted to do something special. So, I decided to celebrate this New Year in France with my friend Monica.
b. I arrived in Paris the day before New Year’s Eve. The city was full of lights and Christmas trees. Before the celebrations began, I was able to visit lovely places, especially cafes and restaurants. At this time of the year, restaurants and cafes in Paris are cozy and more beautiful than usual. Also, I went to several gift shops in order to buy a perfect gift for Monica.
c. On New Year's Eve, I went to Monica's place. She prepared a special dinner for this event, and it was very delicious. I gave the gift to Monica while eating, she didn't expect it but was very happy. Then we went for a walk to the square.
d. The square was overcrowded. Everybody waited for New Year, and right before midnight, people started to count down the last ten seconds. Then the bell rang, fireworks went off, and everybody started to hug and congratulate each other.
e. After, Monica and I rang in the New Year with her group mates at a restaurant. We stayed up all night. However, I have noticed that people celebrate Christmas Eve more than New Year's Eve in Europe.
When did Monica receive the gift?
