"I know everyone's hungry, so I'll be succinct." He smiled, "Another year arrived, huh? Aurora and I cannot express how much your presence here this night means to us. For a while, it has been only the two of us, and having the house filled with people that we care about is the best gift you guys could give us. Thank you for sharing this moment with us."
Everyone felt their hearts warming up when they heard Theo's words.
"I wish that the sea and the universe bless us with a wonderful new year for each one of us." Theo added with a gesture of asking for the sea's blessing.
The others followed his example and did the same thing.
As it was already said before, it was the tradition to wish for the sea's blessing for the new year.
"Let's eat these amazing dishes!" Theo exclaimed when everyone finished their blessing gestures.
"Yeah!"
"Let's dig in!"
"I'm famished."
