冬至节快乐~!

2day is 冬至节(dong zhi jie).. Wish the Chinese all around the world 冬至节快乐.. ^^ 冬 (dong) means winter and 至 (zhi) means arrival.. In Olden Chinese society, the arrival of winter meant that the farmers would lay down their tools and celebrate the harvest by coming home to their families..

Although 冬至 is not a formal holiday, but it is still an important cultural holiday for the Chinese.. Most of the Chinese families who still hold dear to the old culture and tradition, would try to make an effort to get together and savor 汤圆 (tang yuan) as a complete family.. ^^

According to the Chinese believes, we are getting one year older after eating the 汤圆.. So shud be happy or sad after eating the 汤圆?? haha.. :P
