My Chinese New Year

3B Tristen Lau

          Chinese New Year falls on 10th February this year. It is the year of the Snake. It is usually rainy and cloudy at Chinese New Year. I wake up early on New Year’s Day. I greet my parents with ‘Happy New Year’. They give me red packets. I have turnip cake and deep-fried dumplings for breakfast.

          My parents and I visit relatives in the afternoon. I receive red packets from the adults. I play with my cousins. I eat a lot of turnip cake, sweet dumplings in soup, candies and New Year cake.

          Chinese New Year is a special festival. I watch the fireworks display, dragon dances and lion dances. I watch the fireworks display at Wanchai Waterfront. I get a lot of lucky money. I save all the lucky money. I do not spend any of it. I save it in my piggy bank. I enjoy my New Year holiday because I can visit my relatives and have the reunion dinner.
