Hi Sammy!
Thanks for your email. We’re celebrating Chinese New Year at the moment. We celebrate it in
the first month of spring. It’s a very important festival for Chinese people. Before the
celebrations, we clean our house. This is a tradition – we wipe away all the bad things. On New
Year’s Eve, we have a special meal with our family. We eat traditional food and watch fireworks
at midnight. We also wear red clothes. Red means fire, so we believe that our red clothes help
chase away bad spirits. When we wake up on New Year’s Day, we always find red envelopes in
our beds. There is money in them – they’re presents from our parents and grandparents. We
watch dragon dances, too. They’re my favorite part of the festival. I love Chinese New Year,
because I like all the traditions and I like being with my family.
Write to me about one of your festivals.
Take care.
