My favorite Spring Festival
The Spring Festival, falling on the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar, is the most important festival for all Chinese people. Although I have experienced it many times, it is still an enjoyable and exciting experience.
Days before the Spring Festival, I helped my parents clean the room completely, decorate my house with papercuts,stick couplets, eagerly wating for the coming of the New Year’s Eve. On the Eve of the festival, my family members got together to have a big meal, as we watched the Spring Gala, which was really a feast for the eyes. My parents gave me some lucky money in red paper and I was so excited that I stayed up to welcome the new year.
Although feeling tired, I was extremely happy because the Festival provides a valuable chance for us to enjoy as well as be proud of our customs. I’m looking forward to the next Spring Festival.
