Winter Holidays Coming Soon ...
You could not believe how fast time travels. We have already spent 10 days in the New Year 2012! Today, the company will pay us salaries and invite us for dinner after work, so we are all so excited and can hardly wait. What's more, we will have performances during the dinner and two teams will get big prizes. Hope our team will be a lucky dog.
Winter holidays will begin from this Saturday. I have ordered one precious train ticket. In China, every year during the Spring Festival season, buying a ticket is just like winning a lottery. It is estimated there will be roughly 3.158 billion person-times using various means of transportation in the coming 40 days of Spring Festival season. From this year, train tickets can be booked online and one must provide ID card while purchasing a ticket. This policy makes it easier to buy a ticket, at least from my experience.
On this Saturday, I will return to my sweet home and see my parents again. I have not seen them for three months and been missing them so much. I have bought gifts for my parents and some relatives which were all carefully picked. Hope they will like.
In China, we usually add a year of age after each Spring Festival (Chinese tranditional new year). When I was small, I always looked forward to the arrival of Spring Festival since there would be new dresses and delicious food. But I forgot since when, I felt more and more reluctant to welcome the Spring Festival to come for I do not want to see my parents to grow old. Grey hair crawls on their heads; time wrinkles their skins. I should love them more since the time left for us is decreasing everyday. Mom and Dad, I will always be your little girl.
The next Chinese New Year will be the year of dragon which is my zodiac sign. I will be 24 years old. I will have compelete two circles of 12 years in my life. What I will become after the next circle is accomplished? Let's wait and see.

Thanks Andrey for your reminding and sharing interesting information! Wow, I'm surprisingly glad to know you are also celebrating dragon year in Russia. If possible, please share some of your dragon sculpture photos on italki. I am really wondering how it looks like. :P Good day!

Thanks for interesting information! You have wrote: “ This policy makes it easier to buy a ticket …”, but mass media reports there is a huge amount of passengers on transport terminals now and people need to wait some hours to get into couch. So take it in consideration on your way home.
I guess it’s interesting that in Russia we suggest this year as dragon year too! This is according to Chinese mythology of course. And more fun we have celebrated the beginning of the New Year (Dragon year). There are dragon souvenirs; dragon ice sculptures are main elements in the parks. To wait till 23d of January is so long! Good luck!
