Chinese New Year

When I was a kid, I love Chinese New Year. For now, I alwasy think that Chinese New Year is just a holidy that I can visit my parents, my brothers and my friends. The first reason I do like it is that I need to pay lots of red envelopes. The second one is that I will be busy from the New Year's Eve to the senod day of the New Year.

It is tired on the New Year's Eve. First, I need to go to the market early for preparing the family reunion dinner. The most thing I do not like is that the market is crowded and noisy. I hate this kind of market. Furthermore, after dinner , I need to give 17 red enevelopes. It is a great loss to me. Year after year, I always think why we need to give red envelopes. It looks like we are playing a game " gift exchange". Do not you think so?

When the first day of the Chines New Year comes, we must get up early and go to temple for worship. Here you will see many people are lining up for An Tai Sui. This is a very special scene on Chinese New Year. I always think that if we do so and we will get good luck ? If not, we will unlucky? Does anyone can prove? Can we do some good things for praying good luck instead of doing An Tai Sui? Such as we can do useful things for the poor and aged man or orphans on this day.

On the second day of the Chinese New Year, the women who get married must go back to their mother's home. I always think why we should go back to our mother's home on this day. Can we often go back on regular time instead of going back only on this day? In my opinion, these traditions are a bit odd.
