Our family is from Korea and we celebrate Korean Lunar New Year known as “Seollal.” On this day we wear Korean traditional clothes called “handbok” and eat rice cake soup. We also pay respect to our elders by doing a bow called “saebae” and receive a small gift money afterwards. Last year, because my grandparents were in Korea, I did a virtual saebae.

We're from China. We have a big family reunion dinner on the new year's eve and make dumplings to welcome the God of Wealth at the mid night. We wear new clothes to visit relatives and friends. We bow or kowtow to our parents or the seniors while offering our new year greetings and blessings. We give lucky money to our parents. The young receive lucky money from the seniors.

Our family has many Christmas traditions. Some are new and some are really old. Every year we put up our Christmas tree and decorate it with a lot of ornaments. My dad lifts me and my brother up high in the air to put the ornaments on the top branches of the tree. We also put out our Nativity (which shows the birth scene of baby Jesus). We got a new Nativity for our family, so we don’t have all of the figures yet. Every year we add a new piece. This year we are going to add the Three Wisemen. My mom makes a dessert called Struffoli. It is an Italian dessert made out of dough balls, citrus honey, and sprinkles. This is a really old recipe. I don’t really like it, but my mom, aunt, uncle, and grandparents really love it. We celebrate Christmas at my house with all of our relatives. Everyone sleeps at our house and we have fun watching Christmas movies together.

My family celebrates Christmas. We like to go shopping for others and bake cookies. We donate gifts to Toys for Tots. One of our family traditions is the wish pickle.  On Christmas morning, the first person to find the pickle on the tree would receive an extra present from Santa.

Hi, my name is Joanna. My family is from China. My favorite holidays to celebrate are Christmas and Chinese Lunar New Year. On Christmas Eve, I unpack presents with my best friend, Myra, who I have been celebrating these special occasions with since I was born. We often dress like twins, enjoy homemade cupcakes together with favorite movies. On Lunar New Year, we exchange red pockets. On both holidays, my church host concerts as part of celebration, and I will be playing three piano songs. This year, we are celebrating these special days with my brother Jonathan, and Myra’s sister, Ellie.
