Happy Thanksgiving!

I actually don't understand the difference between Christmas and Thanksgiving. If someone can help me out for that, I will be very appreciated at that.

Christmas and Thanksgiving for me are like my Chinese New Year. I actually feel Christmas is much closer to equal to Chinese New Year than Thanksgiving. Chinese New Year is a big holiday for Taiwanese. Family members get together, clean the whole house, play cards and eat tons of food. It sounds like Christmas or Thanksgiving to me. Taiwanese use Chinese New Year to reflect what happen to the whole year and look forward to the new Year.

My wish about Yankees? The same I had last year. I hope Yankees have an injury-free 2009 season. It seems to me this is a pipe dream for Yankees for a long long time.

Happy Chinese New Year!!!

As you guys may know, Chinese people have another calendar called the lunar calendar. Today is Chinese New Year. I haven't celebrated Chinese New Year with my family for a long time. It's very hard to feel Chinese New Year in another countries.

There are two traditions for Chinese People I like to mention with you guys.

For Chinese people, All family members always do their best to get together during Chinese New Year in order to feel "Love and safety". At the Eve of Chinese New Year, we have to clear all the house and take a shower before 12am because we believe you can throw all the bad luck you had from this past year away by cleaning all the dirty things.

At the second day of New Year which will be tomorrow, we will find a mountain to climb as high as we can and then make a wish. If you can't find a mountain, you can try to find a high building to climb to replace with. Chinese people believe the higher you climb, the better chance your wish will come true or the more good luck you will have for this coming year.

So, Try that and make a wish if you can.
