Chinese New Year

There are lots of holidays in Taiwan. But the most important one is Chinese New Year. At Chinese New Year, each member of the family will go home to get together and have a big meal together. We will talk about what happened this year and share some interesting things with one another. We will also get many “red envelopes” (lucky money) from the elders.  All of the people in Taiwan will go and buy many new things, because it means a new start.  So, everything should be new! Children will set off firecrackers and the elders will paste the Chinese spring couplets, because they think it will drive away evil spirits. Chinese New Year is very important in Taiwan, and we will have a long vacation to celebrate.
