HAPPILY EVER AFTER TRADING

• Chinese Lantern Festival

  Posted on October 2nd, 2009 No comments

  Exactly a month passes by,from the Hungry Ghost Festival, now the Chinese will be celebrating the Lantern Festival.  It will be on the October 3rd, 2009.  As for the lunar calendar, it will be the 15th day or the full moon day.  This is actually a very important event for the Chinese all around the world.  People will get married on this date caused it is an Auspicious Date.   Restaurants will be very busy.  Other than getting married, the most important occasion for this date is actually for the whole family members to gather together for a dinner at home or at the restaurant.  For the Chinese, gathering together to have dinner together means a lot to them and very important.  After the dinner, the kids will be having fun with their own Lantern.  The whole house usually will be lit by the lanterns hanging around.  Some people like in Malaysia will usually have the “Mooncakes” as the desert together with Chinese Tea that will perfectly match for each other.  While having the dessert, the parents or the elderly will be watching the kids running around with the lanterns and having fun is really a great pleasure for them.

  Below will be a short video that I have picked from You Tube as an example for the Chinese Lantern Festival with the lantern for hope or the Sky Lanterns.
