The days before and after New Year's Eve are my favorite days. First, New Year's Eve, then the New Year's Day and Lantern Festival, which are the most grand three days in our family. The eighth day of the twelfth lunar month is the beginning of the New Year. On this day, I will eat candied melons or sesame strips. Besides, I will cook Laba porridge on this day, with everything big, small, red and green.
This year 1 23rd, the long-awaited New Year's Eve came. Cleaning is the first thing to do in our family during the day on New Year's Eve, and everyone in the family is involved in cleaning. It's time to "always change the new peaches for the old ones" by cleaning the house. My father, mother and I have changed all the old window grilles, couplets and blessings into new ones. Now the home is really spotless and full of flavor!
Buying new year's goods is an important thing for our family, and eating new year's goods is an important thing for me! At night, when it was just dark, every household made their homes brightly lit, with red lanterns and colored lights hanging high on the roof beams, which made the dark night particularly bright. Eating New Year's Eve at grandparents' home is a consistent custom in our family. It is more like "jiaozi" than "New Year's Eve". This is because our family just eats delicious and warm jiaozi wrapped in carefully prepared stuffing, not to mention it is really delicious!
After eating the New Year's Eve dinner, it is time for the whole family to watch the "Spring Festival New Year's Party" together, waiting for the bell to ring in the laughter. At the same time, our family will also set off firecrackers to celebrate the end of the past year and the beginning of a new year. Every year after the firecrackers are set off on New Year's Eve, our family of three will return to their homes. When the firecrackers sound, it means that a new year has begun in our family!
In the sound of firecrackers in the New Year, the new year is about to begin. When I was one year old, I watched the arrival of the New Year's excitement, and then I passed by quietly!
