Chinese New Year

    Last Thursday is Chinese New Year's Eve. My uncle took his family came home to have a reunion and ate New Year's Eve dinner. This day was very busy, because we needed to do many things, including helping father paste the Spring Festival couplets, having a general cleaning, and helping mother prepare dinner. After eating the dinner, the children must look forward to receiving the red envelops. When the adults gave us the red envelops, we should say something propitious to them. On New Year's day, many relatives will come to our home to celebrate Chinese New Year. In these days, we always have a lot of visitors. On the second day of the Lunar New year, my mother will return home. 

    Chinese New Year is to let family have a reunion. In addition, Chinese New Year is a time to play some games with the family. First, my father bought five $100 scratch-off lottery ticket, and each one have one. When I scratched the ticket, I was so nervous but excited, because I didn't know how much I would got. Unluckily, I didn't get any money from the ticket, but my father got $700. Second, I played Mahjong with my father and two younger brothers. I think that Mahjong needs skills so that I can't not lose the game easily. Third, I paly four color cards with brothers, uncles and aunts. Mahjong and four color cards like the gambles. If you win, you get the money; if you lose, you will give your money to the winner. Because of that, you will think the game is more exciting and  more interesting. If you have time, you can try it.
