Today is the Chinese New Year. This is the biggest and most important day in China, so all family members spend the holiday together. Because there is 13 hours time difference between China and New York, the Chinese New Year began at 11:oo a.m. yesterday. When it was 11:00,I immediately called my parents and sent my best wishes to them and that they would be blessed with good luck in the new year. Because I wanted to be the first person to give wishes to them.They were very happy and proud that they have such a filial daughter and their daughter is grown up. They also blessed me so I can study well,live well .Last night I called my grandfather and gave my wishes to him.My grandfather's family is very big, and every New Year Day the whole family goes to my gandfather's home to celebrate the big holiday.Every year I was very happy to share the moment with so many family members ,but this year I have to spend it alone.When I called ,my uncles,aunts and cousins were all in my grandfather's home ,so I spoke to every one of them. They were very happy and surprise that I called them and gave them best wishes from the other side of the earth .They all wish for me to study hard ,learn knowledge and skills and go back to china to reunite with them after graduation. I promised them I would study hard and go back home as soon as possible. When I heard their kind sound and good wishes, I felt very happy and warm.
In the previous bogger I wrote that I might cry because of missing my family on New Year 's Day.Surprisely I didn't cry even though I missed them ,because their sincere wishes let me feel so warm .I am very proud that I become more and more strong and wish for myself that everything will be good in the new year.

Happy New Year! It made me so happy to read your blog and see that you had a wonderful New Year and were not too lonely. I know how difficult it can be to be away from family during a holiday such as this. When I lived in Japan, I missed having Christmas and Easter with my family, which were two of the most important holidays for us. I did the same as you did, called them on the phone and enjoyed quality time with them that way.
