Christmas Break
We have a carnival during Christmas break here in my hometown. It's the best thing there is. Unlike classic carnival, this one's a bit different. Besides the rallies, we have DJ parties and the town will be active 24/7. The beach will be so aesthetic peeps spend most of their time in the beach. It starts on Christmas.
On exactly 00:00 new year, we burn an old man's statue called "The Pappani" and yell happy new year.
This is what a Pappani looks like on Christmas day :
And this what it looks like at 00:00 on new year.
The idea behind this tradition is that we consider "The Pappani" to be an embodiment of our sorrows, regrets and failures. We burn em away and start a new year.
