Chinese Spring Festival（朗读版）

It's almost Lunar New Year! Some people call it the Chinese New Year, but a lot of my friends who are not Chinese also celebrate it!

Our entire family is so excited. Ma Ma sweeps away the old year. The house must be clean for the new year!

Xiao Mi hears loud firecrackers. Firecrackers scare away naughty spirits.

The New Year is coming - Bang! Bang! Bang!

Today is Chinese New Year! All the shops are closed - it's a holiday.

Xiao Mi wears new clothes - red for good luck! The family visits Ye Ye and Nai Nai.

Everyone says Gong Xi Fa Cai!

Ye Ye gives Xiao Mi lucky-money, "Hong Bao". Xiao Mi says, "Xie xie, Ye Ye!"

The whole family eats together.

They eat extra-luck fish. Chinese New Year is all about good luck!

Nai Nai makes lucky, chewy nian gao.

Xiao Mi loves nian gao with egg! The family eats get-rich dumplings.

The family watches a colorful dragon dance.

It's very exciting!

At night, there's a fireworks show. Green, red, and blue in the sky! Xiao Mi loves fireworks!
