我们家乡过春节和别的地方很不一样，差不多在腊月二十三就开始了，一直到正月十五结束。
Spring Festival in our hometown is very different from other places. It starts almost on the 23rd of December and ends on the 15th of January.
许多孩子都很喜欢过春节，我也不例外。而春节也会按照我们自己的风俗习惯举行。
Many children like spring festival very much, and I am no exception. The Spring Festival will also be held in accordance with our own customs.
春节开始的头几天，家家户户都在买东西祭祀祖先。很多孩子因为那些好吃的食物，往往都不睡觉。他们怕食物被别人抢光，只有把东西放到他们手里。他们才能安静地睡。
In the first few days of the Spring Festival, every family is shopping to sacrifice their ancestors. Many children don't sleep because of the delicious food. They are afraid of being robbed of their food, so they have to put things in their hands. They can sleep quietly.
春节时当然一切都得是新的。穿新衣服……把家里打扫干净也是必不可少的。不论桌子，地板，还是被子，床单都得洗一遍，这样才能迎接新的一年。
Of course, everything must be new during the Spring Festival. Wear new clothes It is also necessary to clean up the house. No matter the table, the floor, or the quilt, the bed sheet must be washed once, so as to welcome the new year.
购买年货是最重要的。大人们一大清早就出了门，上菜市场购买年货。海鲜、蔬菜样样齐全。年货里最常见的是苹果，象征着平平安安：火龙果，象征着红红火火：鱼象征着年年有余……人们个个都是满载而归。
Buying new year's goods is the most important thing. Adults come out early in the morning to buy new year's products in the market. All kinds of seafood and vegetables are available. The most common new year's products are apples, which symbolize peace and security: dragon fruit, which symbolizes red fire; fish symbolizes more than one year People are all coming back with a full load.
转眼间快到三十了，可在三十的前几天，二十五、二十六、二十七、二十八、二十九家家都在送年。虽然不是除夕，但是却别有一番滋味。
In a twinkling of an eye, it's almost thirty, but in the first few days of thirty, twenty-five, twenty-six, twenty-seven, twenty-eight and twenty-nine families are delivering the new year. It's not new year's Eve, but it's different.
这几天不仅大人忙，而且小孩也不嫌着，把自己偷偷藏的私房钱拿出来，跑到小卖部买烟花爆竹。男孩子特别爱买鞭炮，他们总喜欢做恶作剧，在别人身后偷偷放一个鞭炮，经常有很多人被他们吓倒，可他们却“咯咯咯”笑着离开。我们女孩却和他们不一样，喜欢玩烟花，所以都会买很多的烟花，等到除夕时再用。
These days, not only the adults are busy, but also the children don't mind. They take out their private house money and go to the canteen to buy fireworks. Boys love to buy firecrackers, they always like to do pranks, secretly put a firecracker behind others, often many people are scared by them, but they "giggle" and leave. Our girls are different from them. They like to play with fireworks, so they will buy a lot of fireworks and use them on New Year's Eve.
大年三十除夕到了，大人都赶做年菜，我们小孩则穿着新衣服到处乱跑。一会儿到这家看看有什么年菜，回去和大人们“打小报告”；一会儿又到那家偷几片香肠，说是几片，却塞得满嘴都是；一会又到另一家，搞恶作剧。
On New Year's Eve, adults rush to make new year's dishes, and our children run around in new clothes. In a moment, I'll go to this house to see if there's any new year's food, go back and "make a little report" with adults; in a moment, I'll steal some sausages, say some, but I'll be full of mouths; in a moment, I'll go to another house and play tricks.
到了晚上，一家人围着桌子吃团圆饭。在年菜当中，那红红的大闸蟹是我们小孩子的最爱，大人们则举着杯子，喝老酒呢！
In the evening, the family had a reunion dinner around the table. Among the new year's dishes, the red hairy crabs are our children's favorite, while the adults hold their cups and drink old wine!
吃完饭，我们女孩把买的烟花拿出来，点燃后，烟花如一颗颗璀璨的星星，在深蓝的夜空中显得格外美丽。每年的这个时候，家家都会燃放烟花，一个个小火球窜上天空，只听见“嘭“的一声，撞开一朵朵花。
After dinner, our girl took out the fireworks she bought. After lighting them, they were as beautiful as bright stars in the dark blue sky. At this time of the year, every family will set off fireworks, and small fireballs jump into the sky, only to hear the sound of "bang" and open a flower.
正月初一，许多店铺都关门了，大家都往亲戚、朋友家拜年。大人们一见面就聊开了，而我们只顾着收压岁钱。
On the first day of the first month, many shops were closed, and everyone went to visit relatives and friends. As soon as the adults met, they started to talk, and we just collected lucky money.
正月十五元宵节，文化广场都会举行元宵晚会，现场所有的位置全坐满了。许多超市里都挂上了灯谜，我和哥哥常常跑到超市里猜灯谜，而且还是猜灯谜高手呢！每次我们去找爸爸、妈妈……他们原先那空空的手，总会抱满许多东西。
On the Lantern Festival of the 15th day of the first month, the Cultural Square will hold a lantern party, and all the seats on the site are full. Many supermarkets are hung with riddles. My brother and I often go to the supermarket to guess riddles, and we are also experts at riddles! Every time we go to dad and mom Their empty hands were always full of things.
元宵节一结束，春节也结束了。大人们又开始上班工作了，我们也开学了。家乡的春节总是那样热闹、喜庆、隆重。
As soon as the Lantern Festival is over, so is the Spring Festival. Adults are back to work, and we're back to school. Spring Festival in my hometown is always lively, festive and grand.
