CHINESE NEW YEAR

I just celebrated Chinese New year for the first time and it was really fun. I loved getting together with all my family members and eating dumplings. I think I ate like 50 dumplings in one day. They taste so good, the ones I made tasted okay, but they looked really wierd, everybody besides me was afriad to eat them. Chinese New Year is a 15 day celebration, full of fun, good spirit, and fireworks. I think in the past 15 days I heard and saw more fireworks than I had seen my whole life. The works usually start art like 7:00AM and go until 2:00AM it is amazing, for 2 weeks fireworks were my alarm clock and my lullaby. This was the best Chinese New Year ever. School has started and fireworks are over. The silence is a little weird.
