New Year and Tradition

The Year of Rat,celebrating the coming of the lunar new year

frankly I 'm sorry to say I don't have strong feeling on this important festival
well, lots of thing happens in the city, around you, and may be on you
people celebrating, buying new clothes, news shoes, special food, family dinner, red pocket, etc.

life goes on, I even don't bother to have a hair cut, as in our tradition, peopel do so
it's good to have couple holidays, to take a break and prepare for the future

3am, as usual, still sitting in front of the computer,
what make today so special is, I can't drink coffee with milk,(lucky enough I do like black coffee)
in my family, the first day in lunar new year is a vegetarian day, all day long, beginning from 11pm on last night till today 11pm, everything I can eat is vegetarian, no meat, no milk, no chocolate,
it's a family tradition, don't ask me why, but I will stick to it, I respect it, as it is one of the important tradition I learned from my deceased father

I'm sure, Lunar New Year is the best time for family members and friends to meet, to share, and to create some pleasure moment. If you plan to do it, just go ahead and don't have any hesitation, treasure the time with your families, your beloved one and your friends.
All we need is some quality time, care and love. The world is beautiful

Appreciate your following family tradition.

I remember we chatted on phone during the Chinese New Eve when you were driving to the family gathering. Nice chat with you and thanks for calling.

Next year, I will give you the Chinese new year hand-made artwork decoration I should have given you this year.
