The days around New Year's Eve are my favorite days. First New Year's Eve, then New Year's Day and Lantern Festival, which are the most solemn 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 honeydew melon or sesame strips. In addition, I will cook Laba porridge on this day, big and small, red, green and everything.
This year1October 23rd, 65438, the long-awaited New Year's Eve is coming. Cleaning is the first thing to do in our family during the day on New Year's Eve. Everyone in the family takes part in cleaning. It's time to "often exchange new peaches for old ones" by cleaning the house. My parents and I replaced all the old window grilles, couplets and blessings with new ones. Now the house 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, just after dark, every household makes their homes brightly lit, and red lanterns and colored lights are hung high on the roof beams, making the dark night particularly bright.
It is a consistent custom in our family to have New Year's Eve dinner at grandparents' home. It is more like "jiaozi" than "New Year's Eve". This is because our family only eats delicious and warm jiaozi wrapped in carefully prepared stuffing, what's more, it is really delicious!
After dinner, it's time for the whole family to watch the "New Year's Eve" together and wait for the bell to ring in laughter. At the same time, our family will set off firecrackers to celebrate the end of the past year and the beginning of a new year. Every year after firecrackers are set off on New Year's Eve, our family of three will go back to their hometown. When firecrackers sound, it means that a new year has begun in our family!
