How can the New Year be more "annual"?

I have been away from home for many years, and I don't go home many times a year. The Spring Festival is even more precious. Although some things are different from before, my family is still full of flavor. I can share with you how my family lives. My home is a city in northern Jiangsu, and the Spring Festival has always followed a schedule that is almost unchanged for 10,000 years, and there are some Spring Festival delicacies that will always appear. This is also a sense of ceremony for the New Year.

Before 29: Prepare new year's goods, pay a New Year call to relatives and have a good haircut, because you can't get a haircut from the first day to the fifteenth day of the first month. In addition to those on the dinner table, every year, the aunts buy new year snacks for each family-the old eight kinds (bee honey three knives, croissants, sesame chips, crispy strips, glutinous rice strips, golden cakes, peanut candy, hawthorn cakes)+fried sesame leaves+fried balls+children's crisp candy.

29, 30: cleaning, buying new year's goods, posting Spring Festival couplets, eating New Year's Eve, watching Spring Festival Gala, and setting off firecrackers in the early morning; Also, grab red envelopes on New Year's Eve. My family's Spring Festival couplets and blessings have always been written by myself, and occasionally I ask friends of professional calligraphers to help me write blessings. Although my level is average, I have achieved a lot. I feel that this is the beginning of a new year.

You can make full use of your writing style. I plan to try Chinese and English this year, haha ~ ~

Early works haha ~ I will see this masterpiece every time I go to my grandmother's house?

PS: Thanks to the update of WeChat, I can turn to the pictures so many years ago. ...

Chinese New Year: My mother will drag my father and me to burn incense and pray in the temple early in the morning, and then go home to pack jiaozi's meat and have dinner with my parents and grandparents.

Incense is flourishing.

? On the second day of the Lunar New Year, my aunts went home. On this day, jiaozi ate vegetarian stuffing and had a family reunion dinner together. Entertainment is playing cards. My family basically eats at home during the New Year. Instead, they usually go to restaurants. My family has always agreed that only eating at home can be regarded as Chinese New Year.

During the Spring Festival every year, the city holds various activities, such as B&B Cultural Festival, Lantern Festival and Plum Appreciation Festival ... There is a strong New Year atmosphere everywhere. In addition to New Year's Eve and entertainment, the family will definitely find several activities to have fun and feel the atmosphere of the New Year. Now, they will go to the surrounding cities to find the taste of Chinese New Year.
