Full Moon, Full Feelings
Chinese people have been celebrating the Mid‑Autumn Festival and enjoying mooncakes for centuries. Mooncakes are in the shape of a full moon on the Mid‑Autumn night. They carry people's wishes to the families they love and miss.
There are many traditional folk stories about this festival. However, most people think that the story of Chang'e is the most touching. Chang'e was Hou Yi's beautiful wife. After Hou Yi shot down the nine suns, a goddess gave him magic medicine to thank him. Whoever drank this could live forever, and Hou Yi planned to drink it with Chang'e. However, a bad man, Pang Meng, tried to steal the medicine when Hou Yi was not home. Chang'e refused to give it to him and drank it all. She became very light and flew up to the moon. Hou Yi was so sad that he called out her name to the moon every night. One night, he found that the moon was so bright and round that he could see his wife there. He quickly laid out her favorite fruits and desserts in the garden. How he wished that Chang'e could come back!
After this, people started the tradition of admiring the moon and sharing mooncakes with their families.

New Year Celebrations around the World
New Year is a wonderful time when family and friends come together to say goodbye to the old year and welcome the new one. People all around the world celebrate the New Year with music, special food, and fireworks, though the celebration may take place at different times.
In the UK, many people gather in London on December 31 to see the famous Big Ben clock tower and count down to midnight. Research suggests that millions also watch it on TV. At midnight they sing Auld Lang Syne, a traditional Scottish song to remember friends and family. In the US, people have similar customs. A famous tradition involves the dropping of a big ball in New York’s Times Square. Huge crowds gather to watch, and when the ball reaches the bottom, everyone wishes each other “Happy New Year!”
The Chinese New Year, or the Spring Festival, holds great importance in China. People sweep out dust from their houses, hang couplets, set off fireworks, and enjoy lion or dragon dances. One very important custom is for people to return home and enjoy the family dinner on the eve of the Spring Festival. Grandparents, parents, and children gather to eat delicious food and express best wishes for the whole family. This reunion shows that family is hugely important in Chinese culture.
In Egypt, people celebrate Sham El‑Nessim in April to mark the beginning of spring. The name of the festival means “smelling the breeze”. At this time, the weather becomes brighter, and the flowers and trees begin to show their colors. People paint eggs as symbols of new life and new beginnings. They also go out and enjoy picnics, dance, sing, and watch plays in the theater.
Although New Year festivals are different all over the world, they have one thing in common. In almost every country, people believe that it is a special time to connect with their family and friends and show hope for the coming year.
