Chinese new year

I love Chinese New Year! Chinese Lunar New Year is a traditional festival in China. Hundreds of thousands people will celebrate this festival with their family and friends in different countries. People will spend out their money to buy presents, decorations, materials, foods, and clothing. It is also the tradition that every family thoroughly cleans their house to sweep away any ill-fortune in hopes to make way for good incoming luck. Windows and doors will be decorated with red color paper-cuts and couplets. It is the most important of the traditional Chinese holidays. This year, our family had a lot of activities to celebrate Chinese Lunar New Year together. How about you?

On Saturday, I had a rich reunion dinner with my relatives and my family. We went to a Western restaurant to have a gathering. But the restaurant was full so we had to wait for more than an hour before we could get a table. Just then, the waiter came to our table to take our orders. I had fried rice with pineapple and ham. The food was delicious and everyone enjoyed the meal very much! We were full! That’s great!

On the next few days, we visited our relatives and friends. Before we entered into their houses, we would bless them by saying something lucky. Then, the elders would give the younger a red packet. They would treat us kindly with some sweets or cakes. We were happy because of receiving their red packets.

It was a memorable holiday in Chinese New Year for me. What was a meaningful week!
