usually
Before the festival, people usually clean up the house and make it clean and tidy. On the Spring Festival Eve，people always have a big dinner with their family. Of course，dumplings, fish and chicken are the traditional food on the dinner table. After that，adults give children lucky money in a red paper and then people watch TV or talk until midnight to welcome the new beginning. On the next morning, everyone puts on their new clothes and visits their
relatives or friends to wish them a happy new year.
To be honest，I like this festival because I can get lucky money from my family and relatives.
