    My family and I are the most tradition
    when it comes to Chinese New years..
    where you going out to dinner and "by sun" on new years..
    and how we follow the dates, where some day you are allowed to do
    this and some days not...
    and also during the moon festival....mooncakes
    yea...I kind of enjoy it..and i guess i really don't mind it..
    kind of fun too...

    Mooncakes are eaten during mid autumn festivals.
    hahaha, guess we are partially traditional, but the tradition in my family is a bit loose, and it isn't as big of a thing. WOOT!!! CNY coming up, bahahha...lei see xD

    We follow some traditions like the red pockets, mooncakes and you know when a baby is born you make this egg, pork and ginger pot. We don't celebrate big, we just make the traditional things.

    Oh yeah, traditions are traditions. We don't follow everything per se, but there are some that we never miss, like having dinner together on CNY eve and bai nien on Chinese New Year, eating rice dumplings on 'tuen em' festival, eating mooncakes and lighting lanterns during Mid Autumn festival, having dinner and tong yuen during winter solstice. Did I miss out anything?
