Holiday rituals !

It is for a number of common rituals in NoRooz that makes it special besides being blissful !
The rituals initially starts with house cleaning before the holiday begins ! ... The whole house's gonna be cleaned ! If you've got a neat mom like one of mine, you gotta do a lot of house chores by the beginning of the Spring holidays. This year near the Spring cleanings, I left for Rasht and was absent during this lovely activity :D .. Yup ! I survived it ! ...

Next it's time for new year SHOPPING ! The most beautiful part of the story indeed ! :P
After that , It's turn for setting the Haft-Sin table ... It is occasional to set a table on which a number of seven objects whose names begin with 's' are placed ! Each item put , is a symbol .. The red fish in the jug is the most lovely one ! For more info about the Haft-Sin table see the link below:

There's one more cute thing ! During the holiday relatives meet each other ! Younger relatives usually go to visit the older ones ! .. Grand parents' houses are commonly full of guests in the beginning days of the year !

Yeah ! That's it ! The nice occasions all people rejoice and count days down for their arrival at the end of the year !...Won't believe how it is exciting for a student who's counting days for the new year holiday ! ... Sometimes the end of the year happens to be even more exciting than the new year itself ! :D

Have Nice Spring friends !
