The last day of the Lunar New Year in 2008 is the New Year's Eve that people look forward to. According to traditional customs, people who are away from home have to go home to have New Year's Eve dinner with their families on this day, and the whole family is reunited. The lights are on to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new year. Grandpa’s family is no exception. My aunts and uncles who work outside, my aunts and uncles who work in Guangdong, and my parents and I are all back.

On this day, after breakfast, the adults started to get busy: grandfather and uncle were busy killing chickens, uncle and father were busy cleaning, and mother and aunt were preparing fillings for Yong Tau Foo. ——“Yong Tofu” is a unique dish in our hometown and an essential dish for every household in our hometown’s New Year’s Eve dinner. The adults were very busy, and we children were not idle either. We had a lot of fun throwing sandbags, playing hide and seek, and jumping rubber bands. The usually quiet yard was now very lively, full of our laughter, and the whole family was immersed in the joyful atmosphere of the New Year. middle. In the afternoon, grandpa started to paste Spring Festival couplets. Posting Spring Festival couplets in the countryside is different from posting Spring Festival couplets in the county. Instead of using glue and transparent glue to paste Spring Festival couplets, rice cakes are used to paste Spring Festival couplets. Rice cakes can not only paste couplets, but can also be eaten. Grandpa also posted a Spring Festival couplet I wrote on the door. Looking at the red Spring Festival couplets posted on the door, I was very happy. The happiest time for the whole family is when they have the reunion dinner together. The whole family gathers around the big round table to have the reunion dinner. The table is filled with delicious dishes. The whole family talks and laughs while eating and drinking. It feels very warm. This scene only happens once a year. Mom and Dad cherish it very much. It’s a great time to celebrate the New Year!

After dinner, the family came to the yard to watch the fireworks. With a loud sound, the fireworks bloomed in the sky, lighting up the sky and forming beautiful patterns. After setting off the firecrackers and fireworks, the family gathered around the TV to watch the Spring Festival Gala, waiting for the arrival of the New Year bell.

The Chinese New Year feels so good, warm, happy, lively and peaceful. I like the Chinese New Year!
