My grandma says its fine but my mom always gets really upset at me whenever I refer to someone as viejo/vieja and tells me to use meyor. Any general consensus on the matter? Edit: to answer some quick questions I'm Costa Rican and I've typically only referred to people as mayor but my grandma almost exclusively use viejo and I just started catching on because of it.
The name includes "viejo" ("old") because it is one of the three first tercios created and originally comprised 12 companies (each consisting of 150-200 men). The tercio was stationed throughout Sicily as well as in Calabria, Marina de Catanzaro.
Carlos and his Uncle Fredy talk to us about the tradition of the "año viejo" in Colombia. Literally meaning "old year" (and also the name for the "New Year's Eve" holiday), an "año viejo" is symbolic doll that can represent a multitude of themes and especially the leaving behind of the sorrows, failures, and suffering of the year that is ending in order to kick off a better New Year.
Now, Carlos' Uncle Fredy will show us how to make an "año viejo" doll from old, no-longer-used clothing, which will ultimately be burned as part of a Colombian tradition that represents "out with the old, in with the new."
