New Years on the Big Island

New Years here on the Big Island is unique. My neighbors set off a few fire crackers throughout the day
and as evening approaches they become more frequent. By midnight my village is full of smoke, noise.
and small red pieces of paper on the road.  Someone always comes to my driveway in the dark
and sets off a number of loud firecrackers leaving small red papers on the driveway.
The locals tell me it is to scare away the evil spirits .

They also claim my huge rosemary bush by my driveway is an excellent necromancer.
You can google that one .

So I guess I am all set to experience a really great New Year.
Hope your New Years is good also .
