Being one of my family’s most cherished holidays, I always look forward to the
fun of the Lunar New Year. Looking out to my cherry blossom tree, I know when the Chinese New Year had arrived as the flowers are in full bloom. As it Chinese New Year starts, we always start out by cleaning up the
house to bring in the good luck, followed by many other fun activities.
Chinese New Year also comes with many colorful and exciting
celebrations, including festivals and family gatherings. Every year, we all
gather at my grandpa’s house wearing the traditional ao dai as we receive red envelopes,
talk and eat New Year foods. Other family traditions include going to the
temples as we wish for another good year and good health for our loved ones.
Ever since I was little I would always look forward to the
special performances such as dragon dancing. Unlike fairy tales where the
dragons are portrayed ad scary or the villains of the story, dragons of the
Chinese New Year are made to be colorful and to bring good fortune as they
provide great entertainment.
