Korean New Year's Day

I like all holidays, but my favorite holiday is Korean New Year's Day(New Year's Day in the lunar calender). There are three days. On the first day morning, my family goes to daddy's elder brother's home and perform ancestral rites for grandparents. Frankly speaking, there is no fun. But in the afternoon we goes to uncle's home. In there, I eat a lot of foods, uncle's wife's cooking is virtually artistic! She makes songpyeon(sweet rice cake), tteokguk(rice cake soup), sikhye(sweet rice drink). After eat, we have to make a deep bow to grandparents. When we finished the bow, they give us money(I don't know why they give money, but very happy!) ,and give words of blessing to us. On the second day, my family stay at home, because of traffic jam. And the last day, parents' friends come to my home and they drink all night, I'm very uncomfortable to be with them. Anyway, I love New Year's Day, I can meet many relatives.

  3. I expect to meet my all family and eat rice dumpling soup but I'm little sad. Becuase, Every bowl of rice dumpling soup means a year to your age.
