Chinese New Year




By: Jared W.

Chinese New Year is the most important holiday in China. It is important because every Chinese wants to go to their parents’ house to celebrate this long holiday.  One Chinese new year, my dad was planing to take me to my grandparents’ house in China. But sadly, I got sick and didn’t make it. My dad told me that I missed a lot of fun.

On chinese new year’s eve., every family lights fireworks! It says that the family who has the most beautiful and loudest fireworks will have the best year.   On chinese new year’s day people go to their friends’ house one by one, to greet them. And they are invited to have fancy candies! They also get other good treats. Young children sometimes get money in red envelop by saying ‘’Happy new year’’ to people older than them. Nearly EVERYBODY wears new clothes and new shoes, for good luck, in the coming year. 

I wish next time I get to go to China for chinese new year.
