Tomorrow is New Year\u00b4s Eve! Have you prepared your bunch of grapes yet?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is one of my favourite events of the year. The other day, a work colleague asked me if I was planning to follow the Spanish tradition of eating twelve grapes as the clock strikes midnight, and of course, my answer was yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Just to let you know: this picture is not recent; I took it two years ago, but it perfectly matches today\u00b4s topic. It\u00b4s the clock at \"la Puerta del Sol\", the Sun\u00b4s Gate, from which the New Year\u00b4s Eve\u00b4s midnight strokes are broadcast every year).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a song by the Spanish band Mecano that perfectly illustrates the spirit of this night, so much so that the song itself has become part of New Year\u00b4s Eve traditions, at least within my family. Here are the verses that resonate most with me these days:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When preparing the grapes, we notice some new joiners,
we will miss those who are no longer with us.
And for those of us still alive, let\u00b4s get moving
And get together in the coming year.<\/em><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Have a happy transition from year to year; let\u00b4s celebrate our journey during 2024 and toast to a prosperous 2025. Cheers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
