We have a big parade and a festival. We dress up in dragon heads and gods costumes.  We have lots of food like meat, chilies and chickens.  We honor the gods and we have a big fire work show at the Forbidden City.  Chinese New Year is fun!


Every family cleans the house very well.  Chinese believe we can chase the bad luck away.  Everyone will shower and get a hair cut before Chinese New year.  We eat dinner together especially dumplings.  You might get money in the dumplings.  When I get up in the morning we say Gong-Xi Fa Cha to our family  They will give me money in a red envelope.  We visit family and friends.  We treat everyone with food and candy.  Sometimes we play Mahjong.  It’'s a game like dominoes.  Sometimes you can win money.  In Chines New Year, we try not to sweep the floor, because you will wash away the luck, If you break a dish, you better say something nice about it like the broken piecses look like flowers.  We eat candy and nuts.  They will bring us good luck.  Chinese have been celebrating for 3,000 years.  It gets better every year.


 
 

Chinese New Year

Every February I have a Chinese New Year.  We celebrate.  We eat a lot of food.  When I am 9.  When Chinese New Year comes I am ten.  We get money. The money goes in the red envelope.    We like to have all the family come so that is our new year.
