Celebration
Celebrating the New Years of Ethiopia is one of the most exciting , and heart warming event for Ethiopians, and foreigners. On September 12, 2010, Ethiopians celebrated 2003 new years!
I celebrate my new year by going to the club with my family, and friends. The atmosphere is very hot, it makes it hard for one to sit and watch. Where People get up and dance till morning. The Ethiopian celebration is a color full event were Ethiopians are dressed in the beautiful traditional dresses that adorns different patterns in gold, and sliver threads that make the country artifact sparkle on the women outfits. The same goes for men.
The women and girls are dressed from head to toe, with sparkly outfits, hair braided in the latest fashion, and gold or sliver jewelry that are the size of a quarter on their ears,and bracelets on their wrist, and rings that are the size of pennies or quarters. Also the mothers or elderly are wearing the gold pick comb on their heads, that show their beauty, and region. The men and boys are all groomed and handsome with their color full clothes that look brand new in black, brown, green, white, red, yellow, and pink shirts, and pants that are jeans, or suits. The Ethiopian flag is hanged by every wall of the clubs wall, its glowing with the green, yellow and red color of the mother land on a blessed and joyful day.
The club smells of coffee, traditional wine, and the perfumes that mingle with cologne. Every one is dancing to the rhythm of the music playing. There is no shyness, you dance with strangers, and at the moment it feels like you have danced with group or person forever. The movements consist of moving the shoulders, and legs. Hearing the laughter, and singing in unison as soon as the music goes on. You hear people screaming as the singer comes on the stage. Every one rushes to make a huge circle where you dance with any one. Where family, friends or strangers present you with 50 birr, or 100 birr( Ethiopian currency) for dancing hard or for having fun. The songs keep changing that is hard to go take a rest, except dance all night. Making new friends and exchanging numbers, and dancing again, and again.
When the clock reaches 12 at night every one bursts with congratulation, and words of Happy 2003, and happy year. Where one hugs, and kisses the other in happiness, even strangers hug, and kiss on the cheeks! Where the celebration starts again but on a new year.
