A long time ago we moved from the Netherlands to Cochrane (ab), Canada. Our first New Year’s Eve was quiet a disappointment. We were used to parties, champagne, tons of oliebollen, fun programs to watch at the tv and fireworks when the new year started.

We figured out that Canada is different. Nothing on tv except the standard boring movies and games and …..  Looking out of the window at 12 we only noticed dark houses and no fireworks at all. Everybody was already in bed. BORING

At least we still had the oliebollen and the champagne. And for this year we invited some friends too. Still no fireworks. Besides the fact that it isn’t allowed, it’s no fun for the horses either.

Must say it’s the only part I do not really miss. Especially not the fireworks after 1am. Now I can sleep 😁

So what’s left is wishing you a great last day of 2016 and an even greater 2017.

Have you put your new year resolutions on paper yet??
