Chinese New Year is one of my most favorite festivals. It's so much fun, because my aunt, uncle, grandparents, and cousin come to our house. My mom and my aunt cook in the kitchen. My sisters and I help them. After a few minutes, we eat this big meal, and when everybody is done, we do the most important thing, which is “take the red envelopes”. My grandma says, “Put one hundred NT dollars in your pockets for good luck." My mother always saves my money in my savings account. I think it's a good habit.
