Chinese New Year is an occasion where my family gathers and celebrates. This year, my relatives came on New Year's Eve to have a family reunion dinner. We ate steamboat with a wide spread of ingredients. It tasted really yummy. I had fun with my cousins as we went to watch a movie as well as played video games in the arcade. During the rest of the time, i was busy playing computer games as i had really nothing to do. On the first day of Chinese New Year, i visited my maternal grandmother's house. I received many red packets and one red packet with $100! After a while, i got home and my relatives came again- more red packets. I had fun during the Chinese New Year days. On the second day, i went shopping. After shopping for many clothes and items, i went to my cousin's house. I played blackjack and won some money. I felt happy. On the rest of the 13 days, many other relatives came to visit my grandmother. The school has also reopened. I ate many Chinese New Year goodies such as the pineapple tarts. They were very sweet and tasty. I love them. I counted my money from all the red packets collected. They summed up to almost $500! I am planning to spend some of it and bank the rest. I love Chinese New Year. I think it is an occasion where family share fun, laughter, peace and joy, as well as love.Winson
