The Harvest Moon Festival



Every year on the 15th of September (Chinese lunar calendar) is a day for family reunion. Traditionally on this day all family members unite and have dinner together. After dinner, the family sit together to admire the moon, chatting and sharing some special fruits, moon cake and peanuts for this special occasion.

My family follow the Chinese traditional even though we live in Australia. On Sunday we went out have dinner in a famous Chinese restaurant. After that we went back home then we sat on the living room, through the windows we admired the moon which was round and clear. It was so beautiful! We enjoyed every moment of the night.

I hope you have a great holiday in Japan, Wendy.

You have to write about it when you come back and bring lots of photos too!
