What is one tradition you celebrate during the holiday season? What do you love about it?
I like being in a cozy café with a fireplace. There must be a holiday festival, and it must be crowded outside. I prefer watching the view through the window and talking of this, that and the other with my loving friends or family. That’s what gives me happiness. Actually it is a little bit different in this year. I went to Light Up Night. It was awesome:) Moreover I’ll go to New York City’s Times Square at the end of the year. I’m looking forward to it!!!
