I think Chinese New Year is the most famous holiday in my hometown. We always mention this holiday when it comes to the most important and well-known holiday in Taiwan.
This holiday is for people to get together with their family, and get some rest in the vacation to welcome the coming new year. We always have a great meal with delacacies. And after the meal, parents will give their children red envelopes.
I love this holiday very much. During the spring break in Chinese New Year, my family and I always leave for Changhua to my grandma's home. Our whole family, including my mom's siblings, my cousins, all my aunts and uncles will be there and celebrate the holiday together. We seldom meet each other in other days but in Chinese New Year. I love the time we all get together. I like to play with my little cousins and find them grow up faster than last year I saw them. I like to play cards, watch TV, eat breakfast and lunch and dinner with my cousins and my family. And I like to chat with my uncles and aunts, listening to their experience.
To me, Chinese New Year is a simple but warm holiday. I love the moments my family and I get together very much.
I agree with you that Chinese New Year is an important holiday to Taiwanese that cannot be overemphasized. I also enjoy the time greatly when all the family members get together to have fun during the Chinese New Year, and the yearly routine to visit my grandmother's home for a reunion dinner is always what I anticipate the most in the coming of the festival. I think people nowadays have less and less opportunity to get together with their family, which makes the festival much more valuable and worth preserving.
