What chinese new year means to me .
Chinese is an important festival to all chinese as well as to me .
Its a festival when our relatives or friends come to our house and the younger or the not married adults were given hong baos , which means red packets.
During the Chinese New Year eve, the whole family gathers to have a reunion dinner . We eat food that symbolise goodluck and prosperity.
Before Chinese New Year, we buy biscuits or tibits for the guests . We also have to buy decorations for our house . We also have to do spring cleaning in our house so as to have a brand new clean house for the Lunar new year .
But during the First day of the Chinese new year , we were told not to sweep the floor even the floor is very dirty . Because if we sweep the floor, its like sweeping our luck for the new year away.
When we visit our friends or relatives house, we exchange mandrian oranges . But we cannot forget to bring back our oranges as its like leaving goodluck at their housee .
When we received the hong baos from the elders , we were told not to open them infront of them as it is very rude. During Chinese New year , we were also told to be in our best behaviour .
To me , Chinese New year is a exciting and an important festival .
