Happy MoonCake Festival to everyone~ :D ! Have you enjoy playing lantern with you parents? I know you might think it's very childish and immature. But, it is like family reunion, a activity that you can do with you parents and spend time with them.
Wondering what is Mooncake Festival? When is it? On the 15th day of August every year on the Chinese Lunar Calendar, which falls on the 22nd of September this year - 2010, everyone said it has the biggest and roundest full moon of the year, which is a sign of abundance. So, lets pray that we can see the biggest and roundest moon tonight :D! And once again, most of the Chinese all over the world will be celebreting Mooncake Festival, which is also called as Mid Autumn Festival. For couples, it is a night that is full of romance while moon-gazing~! Mid-Autumn Festival is like any other of the celebrations, there are exciting ancient histories and legends. There are many types of mooncake, example: green tea, pandan, red bean, and many more. Some would also have egg york, nuts and seeds in them like peanuts and walnuts. As for me, I only eat green tea and panfan flavored mooncake. For my parents, we usually gather up at my grandma's house to eat and enjoy playing lanterns together with all my cousins :D! Sometimes, we will bring
mahjong and cards there too. We aren't gambling, just playing x:! For me, all the mooncake tasted very sweet! So I would suggest you to enjoy your mooncake with tea :D! So that it's not that sweet.
