Chinese New Year

As we know, Chinese calendar changes every years and it was said that it follows the changes of moon.like the Christmas in the western countries,the Spring Festival is the most important festival in China.
Of course, we have 12 animals to present the different 12 years.like this year, we called OX year in China.the old people always tell us--the young people some stories about those 12 animals.
And i was born in the horse year.
this is the first time that i celebrate the Spring Festival in a foreign country. but it also left me a lot of warm memories.
In China, that day we will spend all day to prepare a great feast for the whole family. it is the happiest time for me because i can enjoy a lot of delicious food that day.
In Malaysia, on that day, we spent a little time in KKA to cook some traditional foods, simple but nice.
Although i was not in China,but i received a lot of wishes from my parents, friends,even the friends from the other countries which makes me so surprise.
In my opinion,the celebration here is so quiet. but in our hostel we hung some lanterns and some couplet.it is our traditional.

Today is the last day of the spring festival it called Lantern Festival. in China, we eat "Yuan Xiao".

this is the celebration here
