At 9 am, some family members, such as my aunties and uncles, came from the other city. It was our big family tradition to visit relatives on the 2nd of Lebaran day. They came with souvenirs they brought from their house. There were snacks, cookies, any kind of fruit and ketupat.
My family’s house was chosen to be the place of a small house party because my mom is the 1st child in her family. It was a Javanese tradition, coming to the oldest child house when Lebaran came.
At the end of the day, our families together cleaned up my house before they went home. It helped us so much after the house party. I loved being at my big family’s house party.
Last New Year's holiday was very memorable for me. In the morning of December 31, my family and I went to Bogor to visit our relatives who live there. We spent the whole day having fun with my cousins at their house.
At night, we went to a carnival near the Botanical Garden to celebrate New Year's Eve. The carnival was very crowded and lively. There were many food stalls selling snacks, drinks, and local dishes. We tried various foods while waiting for the fireworks.
