Dear Editor,
We have eaten out for the Spring Festival family dinner for the last three years, and we have enjoyed it no less than eating at home. I don’t understand why some people refuse to embrace the change.
Can’t they admit that the preparations for the dinner are hard work I really don’t think it’s worth the effort of spending so much time preparing for a single meal, and then another hour cleaning up the mess after it’s over. We work all year, so why can’t one day be about spending time with family and relaxing
Eating out is a good choice and it has nothing to do with loss of traditions. We still have the dinner with the same people, just in a different place. The occasion is more enjoyable without all that tiring cooking, and the dishes taste better!
In my opinion, what or where we eat on Spring Festival Eve really doesn’t matter. Eating out may change the form of this tradition, but the love between the family members sitting around the table together remains the same.

Dear Editor,
For this year’s Spring Festival family dinner, my son has booked a table at the best restaurant in town, but I’m a bit unhappy about it. For me, it just won’t feel like Spring Festival having the dinner out.
eat out
When I was a little boy, the dinner on the eve of Spring Festival was what I looked forward to most. It was not only for the delicious food that we seldom got to eat, but for the opportunity to have our whole family gathered together. I would run around the house, listening to the adults chatting about their year. I’d get under my mother’s feet in the kitchen, watching her make dumplings.
eat at home
She’d put tokens in some dumplings:candies for a sweet life and peanuts for a long and healthy one. In the evening, all of us would sit around the table, enjoying the food and being together again. We toasted each other, we laughed, and the simple, homemade dishes tasted more delicious than anything cooked by a top chef.
I hope my children and their children will still value our memories of preparing the dinner together. To me, the process is even more important than the dinner itself.
