Happy mid autumn everyone 😊 This is my second favorite traditional Chinese festival.
🔸
As little kids, we carried lanterns and walked around the dimly lit neighborhood with other neighbors in the evening. As older kids, we played with sparkles or candles at a nearby playground with our classmates who typically stay nearby. As adults, we understood that it signifies reunion and thanksgiving, as families come together and exchange gifts such as these mooncakes.
🔸
This may be the last day to give a box of mooncakes to your loved ones, but the spirit of thanksgiving and spending quality time with family lasts whole year round. Happy mid autumn once again everyone, 中秋节快乐 😊
