July 7 | Leave a comment I don’t usually celebrate my birthday. I sometimes go out for a birthday lunch with my mom, but I usually just take it easy. My best friend doesn’t understand, but for me, my birthday is no big deal. But this year, my birthday is a little different. I’m on vacation in China at the moment, and my birthday is on the same day as the Moon Festival. It’s really cool. Moon Festival is also called Mid-Autumn Festival, and people in China celebrate it every September or October. It’s on a different day every year, but there’s always a full moon. The festival is more than 3,000 years old. It’s amazing, and really colorful – I love it! The people don’t wear traditional clothes, but they eat traditional food, like mooncakes. They are small, round cakes and they’re delicious! You can see dancers in colorful costumes perform traditional dances. There are also lots of paper lanterns with bright patterns. People light them to say thank you for children, who make everyone so happy – most of the time! So far, this birthday is one of the best ever!
