Muneca's! My favorite tradition!





I had a great New Years Eve. I went to a friends house with a bunch of people from high school and we ate lots of food and caught up on what we are all busy doing. The best part was a tradition from Ecuador that we celebrated. I stuffed some clothes with newspaper. Then you write bad habits that you want to discontinue and you put them in the muneca (doll). Then at midnight you burn it. It symbolizes that you will stop your bad habits. It was such much fun (a little colder that last new years, but still fun). This year we actually put the muneca on the snow, which was not possible in Ecuador. I am so excited for 2008. I have lots to look forward to and so far it’s been a great year.
