When I was a child, our house was made of light materials, and our roof was crafted from Nipa leaves. On New Year’s Eve, we would stay awake not to welcome the new year, but to keep vigil and ensure the fireworks didn’t set our house on fire.

We prepared pails of water and other firefighting materials. It wasn’t until my college years, when we finally had a metal roof, that I could enjoy a restful New Year’s Eve.

This memory always makes me smile and think, “What a life it has been!” !BBH !LOLZ

Wow, that's crazy. I'm glad that you were able to change your roof to a metal one so you were able to enjoy the holidays as they're meant to be.

Best wishes for you ☺️

It must have been distressing at the time, but now that that's behind us it's a good memory.
Merry Christmas!🎅🎄
