And that's when people will take several days off to reunite with their families. So, yeah, people will eat together and share what happened during the whole year. So, the whole family can get together and children can receive some pocket money, known as red envelopes, during Chinese New Year. And, yeah, people can see some relatives who don't live with them together during Chinese New Year. And, yeah, I really enjoy Chinese New Year because my mother will prepare a lot of food and drinks at home. And, yeah, we can spend time with our family, eating delicious meals and watching TV together, talking about everything that happened during the year. So, yeah, I think Chinese New Year is the most important time in my country.
