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.]]> 2022-12-03 13:12:30 UTC https://padlet.com/PhotosbyShin/xsw6liq05467mxr2/wish/2407494311 https://padlet.com/PhotosbyShin/xsw6liq05467mxr2/wish/2407531266 My family likes to celebrate Christmas and the holidays by putting up a Christmas tree.

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.]]> 2022-12-06 23:21:19 UTC https://padlet.com/PhotosbyShin/xsw6liq05467mxr2/wish/2411384675 xianhui926 https://padlet.com/PhotosbyShin/xsw6liq05467mxr2/wish/2413248407 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. ]]> 2022-12-07 18:38:59 UTC https://padlet.com/PhotosbyShin/xsw6liq05467mxr2/wish/2413248407 PhotosbyShin https://padlet.com/PhotosbyShin/xsw6liq05467mxr2/wish/2413564727 2022-12-07 22:53:54 UTC https://padlet.com/PhotosbyShin/xsw6liq05467mxr2/wish/2413564727 PhotosbyShin https://padlet.com/PhotosbyShin/xsw6liq05467mxr2/wish/2413671669 We're from China.
