Happy Shab-e Yalda (Yalda Night) aka Happy Watermelon eating Day

Can’t believe a whole year has passed since last year’s Yalda Night

.

This year I have decided to start a new tradition in our household…ice-cream with pomegranate seeds sprinkle on top…and then another ice-cream with crushed nuts…though I am not too sure about trying watermelon with ice-cream :O

.

Happy watermelon, pomegranate and nuts eating day my fellow Yalda Night celebrators :D

Enjoy this video with Mahasti singing…ehhh don’t know the name of the song but the vid has to do with Yalda Night :D
