This year, I spent the Spring Festival with my parents, grandparents. I was really happy to spend a whole week with my grandparents. Parents buy new year's goods in the supermarket together and prepare for the Spring Festival.We buy fish and meat, fruits and vegetables, nuts and snacks together. It was fantastic! It's always good to prepare delicious New Year's Eve dinner, but it's very important to gain weight and always annoying! I will also go to temple fairs with my family and visit relatives.
