I just love Chinese New Year. It is a time when all of our family members and relatives come together for a reunion. On the day that we are having a reunion. Our relatives will bring red packets and give them to all of the children. However, only married couples can give red packets, In exchange, the children, give two Mandarin oranges to them and say some kind words. Before we start the reunion dinner, we all gather around the table and pull it up high. It is said that the higher you pull it, the better luck you have once you pulled it high enough, we then say words of encouragement, Finally, we get to eat it, just between you and me, i do not really like eating it as it tastes horrible, on the eve of Chinese New Year, our family offers prayers to the Gods and Goddesses. We present foods and delicious to out ancestors and burn joss sticks and joss paper at altars while we ask for blessings. I love Chinese New Year very much.
