Valentine's Day


Today is Valentine's Day, I went to Albertsons to buy a bunch of flowers to give my mom in the morning. My mom is happy because this is her first Valentine's Day in America. I hope my mom will have a boyfriend in next year, so I don't need to buy flowers to give her again.
In three days, my Chinese's New Year will come. I am prepared for that. Chinese's New Year is very interesting because we cook delicious food and we arrange the room. We will not sleep for the whole night. we will wait for the new year to come, and pray for the next year to be lucky. Then on the second morning, my parents or my brother(he must married) will give the children and his younger sister lucky money. We are very happy at the moment. Every New Year, my mom buys new clothes and new shoes for me because if you wear red shoes, you will have a lucky year! This year I have a pair of shoes with red flowers. My friend told me last weekend there was a New Year festival in Chinatown.
It is interesting because there was a lion dance and a dragon dance and some tranditional handcraft. I like to join the activities, but I missed it this year. This is interesting, my Chinese's Valentine's Day is Chinese's New Year's second day, and it is a Lantern Festival observed on the first full moon in a lunar year. So, Chinese's people have two Valentine's days and two new years if we live America.
