The Spring Festival The Spring Festival is coming. Id like to go back home and spend the long holiday with my parents. The Spring Festival is the Chinese New Years Day. It is on the first day of a year on the lunar calendar. It is peoples favorite festival in China and in many Asian countries, just like Christmas in the West. The family members would get together around their parents to celebrate the Spring Festival happily. No matter how far away from home, people try to get back home before Lunar New Years Eve, just as the old saying goes, “ East or west, home is best .” People usually begin preparing for the celebration a week before the festival. They clean their houses meaning to sweep out the bad luck in the past year. They prepare many kinds of Chinese traditional food, get new clothes for children, hang up red lanterns in the yard, paste colorful paper-cuts on windows andSpring Festival couplets on both sides of gates or doors. People try to make the NewYear full of joy so that they will have good luck in the coming year. As for our family, we have a family reunion on every Lunar New Years Eve.With the whole family together , we share happiness and Great joy, having delicious food, playing games, singing and dancing and watching wonderful TV programs for the Spring Festival on CCTV. At midnight, we have some jiaozi and set off crackers and fireworks to welcome the coming New Year. On the first morning of the Lunar New Year, we get up early, dress up and go toshow respect to the senior members of the family, we also express good wishes to our friends, neighbors and relatives. Children are always very happy to receive the “ lucky ” money from thesenior members of the family.We enjoy the happiness and the tender sentiments of the family and we learn a lot about Chinese traditional culture during the Spring Festival.
