During chinese new year eve, my mother wake up at around 6 in the morning to prepare dishes for praying the gods during the afternoon. when i come back from my school chinese new year celebratation, my mother will still be cooking the dishes, as there is alot of dishes. after praying, i will help my mother to place the dishes on to the dinning table. after i had eaten, my grandmother and my aunt will come to visit my house and also have their lunch in my house. then at night i will go to my grandmother house to have the reunion dinner. then we will play poker cards gambling with all our wealth. at night i will stay awake for the whole night and play my computer as chinese has a tradition that the long i stay awake for the night, the long my parents will lives.
then next day, in the morning i will go greet my parents with two oranges and then get red packets from them. then i will go to my granmother house to give her well wishes and get red packets from her and my aunt. after that alot of people will come to my grandmother house to greet her and i will also collect alot of red packets. at around 12 in the noon, my parents with my grandmother and aunt will go to a temple which i don't know and come back after one hour. At night i will go to my relative house and have my dinner there and again clollect alot of red packets.
