Dear Tom,
I'm glad to hear that you are interested in traditional Chinese festivals. Now I'd like to introduce my favorite festival - the Spring Festival to you.
The Spring Festival usually falls in January or February. It is the most important festival in China, symbolizing the beginning of a new year.
Before the festival, we clean our houses thoroughly to sweep away bad luck. Then we put up Spring Festival couplets to bring good fortune. On New Year's Eve, the whole family gets together to have a big dinner, which is called the New Year's Eve dinner. After that, we go outside to set off fireworks, making the sky bright and colorful.
I love the Spring Festival because it is a time for family reunion. We can spend time together, share happiness and make wonderful memories.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
