The Spring Festival

The Spring Festival

 

The Spring Festival , we also called Chinese New Year`s Day , Platonic year , lunar New Year's Day . The Spring Festival means that the spring is coming .

 

When I was young , I always looked forward to the Spring Festival . Because I could dress new clothes , eat candy , other delicious things , and so on . I also could receive some money given to children as a lunar New Year's gift , during the Spring Festival. The Spring Festival is a aspiration to me at that time.

 

I have not gone home for nine years , This year is the first year I returned home to celebrate the Spring Festival after I worked . so I intended to accompany my family , but after I went home , throughout the Spring Festival I ate and drank alcoholic beverages . For formality and ceremony , this day I paid a new year call to a relative ,  another day I also paid a new year call to another relative . If the relative are that kind of good contact relatives , I have on words to say . but they are not . Originally paying a new year call is a manner that the relative and friends expresses best wishes each other ,  but now it is a formality . What a tired ! Now the Spring Festival is formality and encumbrance to me instead of aspiration.

When we are young, we are full of energy and excitement.  But as we age, the newness of some things wears off.  Spring Festival and Christmas are like a child's toy.  After a few years, we know what to expect.  When we, ourselves, become Santa Claus, we find it less exciting because the results are not unexpected.

That does not mean we cannot enjoy the holidays.  We just find new ways to enjoy them.  The old ways may no longer work.
