Lunar New Year

Chinese New Year also called the Lunar New Year. It is the most important traditional holiday in Taiwan. A massive amount of great food is served up, and people are happy to take a few days off work.

First of all, I cleared my house and washed clothes on New Year’s Eve. This tradition is founded in the belief that cleaning the house at this time of year will sweep away the bad luck that has accumulated inside over the past year. In evening, all the members of my family went to a Chinese restaurant to have a big dinner. As usual, we head to temples to pray for good luck and we visited my relatives during the New Year. I am very excited about Chinese New Year. We usually go to country every year. For some reason, it was a little different this year. I stayed in home for 4 days. Most of time I watching TV/DVD, playing cards and sleeping.

Lunar New Year is one of my favorite festivals. The holiday is full of happiness and warmness. There are many exciting things happening during the New Year. Wish all the best in 2011 for everyone.
