Dear Ali,
Thank you for youe e-mail.In fact,we have a similsr festival in Hong Kong.It is called Chinese New Year.The celebration starts on 1st Janauary of lunar calendar.
Before the festival people like to make new clothes,clean and decorate their homes.People like to stick "Fai Chuns",put some plants and flowers at home.Also,people buy some sweet and watermelon seeds at home,it means they live very happily and earn a lot of money in the future.
The night before,we have a rich dinner called "reunion dinner".That dinner is very important to them.It means their families are complete and happy.Therefore,their father back home eariler to enjoy that meal.
On the first few days,people visit their relatives and friends.Before they enter thier homes,they say something luck to bless them.They like to exchange their gifts and enjoy the yummy rice cake and sweet .Also the adult who were married will give the children red packets.When they receive them,they are joy because there is money inside the packet.
At night,they watch the fireworks display on TV.And go to the lunar new year stall to buy things.When the holidays past,they need to work again.Have you ever hear that festival before?Which festival do you like the best,Noruz or Chinese New Year,why?
Hope to hear from you again.
