Reunion

又是过农历新年了农历新年又过去了
我们农历新年长达十五天但来去匆匆
每年都选择农历初七初八才回家过年
今年也不例外农历初八我才回到老家

选择这个时候才回家过年的因素有几
第一：不必赶着一年前就开始订机票
第二：不必因为拿不到年假而不开心
第三：不必跟随爸妈家家户户去拜年

过新年大团圆的意义对我来说很简单
家人一起共聚一堂吃吃喝喝说说笑笑
把不愉快的抛掉新的一年从新的开始
家人吗还有什么仇恨恩怨不能解决呢

只要一家人能一起开开心心的过日子
无论那一天那一月那一年都是在过年
我可以大声地说我们家的成绩单不错
我们一家人还能一起乐融融的过日子

Here come Lunar New Year, and there goes Lunar New Year. Our Lunar New Year celebration stretches over a period of fifteen days. I have always choose to go back home around the seventh or eighth days of the Lunar New Year, and this year is of no exceptional.

There are a few reasons why I only go back for my family only after the seventh or eighth day of the Lunar New Year. Firstly: I do not have to book my ticket to go back home one year in advance. Secondly: I do not have to feel upset because I am not able to secure my annual leave during the first few days of the Lunar New Year and thirdly: I do not have to follow my parents, travelling miles and miles visiting our relatives. 

Celebrating Lunar New Year and Reunion Dinner to me is simply a gathering of family members filled with joy and laughter, enjoying each others company, forgetting the unpleasant, starting afresh. There should not be any grievences amongst the family members that cannot be resolved.

As a family, as long as we can live happily together, having dinner together at anytime of the day, any month is a Reunion dinner. I can proudly say that my family did quite well over the past years, living in harmony with each others.
