What chinese new year means to me

Chinese new year means about good luck and prosperity.It also means about recieving red packets and new year goodies.Some people believe that a long time ago, there was a monster called ,Nian, who ate people.The lion was suppose to scare it off but one chinese new year he was busy so the peolpe decided to scare it off by making lion costumes and setting off fire crackers while the "fake" lion danced.That is why people believe in celebrating chinese new year.

For me during chinese new year , i visit my friends and relatives.We also have reunion dinners.I have steamboat on the 1st day of chinese new year.I find chinese new year quite enjoyable and fun as i can collect alot of money!!!!!!
