Chinese New Year

Today is February 5th, now it’s Spring Festival eve in China. Chinese New Year is the most important festivity for the Chinese people. Every year has an animal’s name. The coming year will be rat. Chinese New Year starts with the New Moon on the first day of the new year and ends on the full moon 15 days later. New Year's Eve and New Year's Day are celebrated as a family affair, a time of reunion and thanksgiving. The celebration was traditionally highlighted with a religious ceremony given in honor of Heaven and Earth.

Today I suddenly realize that I miss my family very much. I can image what they were doing. They are celebrating, and they will have a big, delicious lunch. My uncles and my father like playing Majiang in the afternoon. My aunties and my mom like to go shopping.
My cousins usually surf the Internet…

Last year, when I was in China, my family had a big celebration, and it was only for me. It was the first time that they cooked every dish was only for myself. I also played Majiang with my families. At night, we watched TV program. Every one gave me red envelope, also my cousins. The Spring Festival was my favorite festival.
