Tonight I was present at the Christmas Party of the education center which my child learn English. We played a game. All people made a circle in room, shoulder by shoulder. The one's left hand must catch the left people's right hand, and meanwhile his right hand must escape from the left hand of the right people. The winner should be the one who's left hand catch the right hand of the people beside him. Finally, an old man won the game and get a gift.

Today is my luck day because I got the frist prize in another game.  The first prize  for the winner is RMB 900 yuan which can be used for pay the cost in this education center.

Today is Winter Solstice. It is the shortest day and longest night of one year.sti From tomorow, the day will be longer and the night will be shorter. After 6 months, the situation will be swifted from the Summer Solstice.

Chinese always eat traditional food for celebrate this special day. People eat dumplings in North of China and eat tangyuan in Soth of China. Usually, winter start from today. The weather will be colder.

In old stroy, the famous doctor Zhang zhongjing invented the dumplings. One year Zhang zhongjing retired and went back to hometown. He found many people's ears were frozen due to the cold weather. He boiled lamb soup and put the lamb meat in the wrapper which made by flour and the shape looks like ear. People named the food Jiao er, it means dumpling. People who eat the soup and dumplings were recovery soon. After that people eat dumplings every year for commermorate doctor Zhang zhongjing.

When I was young, I loved winter. The weather colder, the date which I went back home is closer. So the winter means the home for me. Now I lived in a warm city with my partents. The winter is not meaningful for me again. I enjoy the time stay with my family, not only in Chinese New Year now, in everyday.
