The Lantern Festival, which occurs on the 15-th day of the First Month of the Chinese Year, marks the end of the New Year's Holidays. This year’s Lantern Festival occurred on the 21st of February. Eating Tang Yuan is a important custom for the Lantern Festival. The day before the annual festival, my mom makes hundred of white Tang Yuans. On the night of the Festival, my mom puts them all in a huge pot of boiling water and cooks them. Every year my mom makes perfect white, round and delicious Tang Yuans!
This is a bowl of Tang Yuan (Actually 3). This is the steamed Tang Yuan, the Fried Tang Yuan and steamed Tang Yuan. It’s made with white rice powder with water, with a stuffing such as sesame seeds, honey, walnuts and “Dou Sha”, a sweet dark black bean. She makes Dou Sha because I like to eat sweet things and because it’s very nutritious. My favorite type of Tang Yuan is the boiled kind because it’s the only kind I’ve ever tasted and my mom makes it best.
On the day of the Festival, people like to watch Dragon and Lion dances. I like watching them too! This dance is for people who know and have practiced for years! Because the Dragon or Lion is made out of paper or thin cloth, a mistake may cause the whole dragon to tear away! If you can’t do it right, it’s very embarrassing.
After the festival ends, people return to their normal lives. The adults go to work, the kids go to school. Now it’s all about waiting till next year to celebrate this once again, so Happy Lantern Festival! ( not added in Chinese)
农历正月十五是元宵节，这一天结束了新年的假期。
.今年的元宵节是在2月21日。 吃“汤圆”是元宵节的一项重要习俗。每年元宵节前一天晚上，我的妈妈包几百个小白元宵。到了元宵节晚上，我妈妈把前一天做的元宵放在一个大锅里煮。每年我妈妈做的元宵又白有园好吃极了！

这是一碗元宵的照片。这里有蒸的元宵，煎的元宵，还有煮
元宵是用糯米粉做的，然后我妈妈加黑芝麻，蜂蜜，核桃等。有的时候，她也作豆沙馅，因为我喜欢吃甜的东西，而且有营养。我最爱吃的元宵就是煮的元宵，因为我妈妈做得好吃，我也没吃过其它种元宵。


元宵节前，人们喜欢看舞龙舞狮。我也很喜欢去看。这个活动一般的人不会跳。龙是特殊纸或者是布做的。要是你用里一拉就会撕破。要是你想跳着个舞，你必须要有技巧。跳不好就会穿帮了。那多羡眼阿!过完了元宵节,人们回到正常的生活中.大人上班,小朋友上学.
