Chinese Now Year is a festival celebrated mostly by Chinese, People around the world celebrated Chinese New Year. My family and I celebrate Chinese New Year by visiting our relatives.

One day before Chinese new year, which is Chinese new year eve, my family go for a reunion dinner with the entire family, which consist of over 20 people.

On the day itself ,we put on new clothes and start our visiting, not only do we get to enjoy snacks like pineapple tarts and sweets, we get to collect red packets too. Every year, my brother will try something new when he says his well-wishes to the elderly, like rap. What I find most enjoyable about this festival is the chance to see our relatives. Especially those whom we rarely get to meet.Some times after visiting, we will hang around and sometimes they might even play games like poker. By the end of the day, all of us will be exhausted. I myself will try to stay awake till I reach home and count the money in the red packets. As the second day of Chinese new year is a holiday, we usually go to my grandmother’s house and collect more red packets. As you can tell, I do like collecting red packets, cause it means I will get more money! In my past years in school, we also have celebration in schools. Usually it was on new years eve. However this year it was different. As new year eve fell on a Sunday, we celebrated on the third day of Chinese new year. This is one of the more memorable celebration I had as my cca, band performed on that day and the sec2s were forced to perform a skid, wich not many people understood.

This year's celebration was different from the past years, but I have enjoyed myself just as much.
