New Year's Day and Chinese new year New Year's Day is January 1st and it is the first day of the year on the solar calendar. Each year in this festival,my school hold a new year's gala,so do this year. And my parents and i watched the New Year Eve Party on TV. Sometimes we go out for a trip with friends. I think that it is all to celebrate New Year's Day. After all, it is just a common festival in China. However,Chinese new year is a traditional festival which has a long history in China,it is called 'Spring Festival' as well. It is in late January or early February for the most part and it's the first day on the lunar calendar. We have a long holiday during this time. As for me,i like Chinese new year more. I can always get a great deal of money. Chinese people called it 'red pocket' or 'lucky money' and it is also a traditional custom,so the children are the happiest at this time of a year. Apart from this,my parents and i often do some shopping and cleaning,and we go to our relatives' s and friend's house for a visit. People send gifts to each other. In New Year's Eve,we often eat food like dumplings and spend the whole night together. The dinner is tasteful and delicious,for it not only a dinner but also a family meeting. We also watch Spring Festival Evening Party and let of fireworks.The sound of firecrackers don't disappear and lasts the whole night. Anyway,Chinese new year is the most important festival for not only my family but also every family in China. It is also the symbol of the arrival of a new year in China. Everyone thinks highly of it. No matter where the family members are,they will manage to go back home for family reunions. So they are New Year's Day and Chinese new year. I estimate that you have further understood them now,right?
