We call the Chinese New Year the Spring Festival. It is the first day of the lunar calendar. Before New Year’s Day, people are busy shopping and cleaning their houses. On New Year’s Eve, every family has a delicious feast. All the family stays up late to welcome the Festival and people burn firecrackers to greet it. On the first day of the Spring Festival, people put on their new clothes and visit their relatives and friends. When meeting, they say “Good luck” and other greetings to each other. And children are very happy because they can get the lucky money from their parents and relatives. On the Festival, there are lion dances and some other activities, which last at least three days. People usually have a very good time during the festival.
