今天是农历十二月初八——腊八节。腊八节在中国有着很悠久的传统和历史，在这一天喝腊八粥、做腊八粥是全国各地老百姓最传统、也是最讲究的习俗。
Today is the eighth day of the twelfth month of the lunar calendar, the Laba Festival. Laba Festival has a long tradition and history in China. It is the most traditional and exquisite custom for people all over the country to drink and make Laba porridge on this day.
晚上，爸爸用红枣、莲子、红豆、花生、黑豆、麦仁、百合、香米等八种材料熬了一锅香喷喷的腊八粥。
In the evening, dad cooked a pot of tasty Laba congee with eight materials, such as red dates, lotus seeds, red beans, peanuts, black beans, wheat kernel, lily, Xiangmi, etc.
妈妈把粥盛好，放在餐桌上。我用汤勺轻轻地在碗里划了几下，好让它凉的快一些。然后，舀了一勺放进嘴里。粥熬得烂烂的，放在嘴里很快就融化了。我对爸爸说：“爸爸，你熬得腊八粥可真好喝啊。”爸爸说：“你喝下了这碗腊八粥，就会幸福吉祥的。”听了爸爸说的这些话，我感觉特别温馨、幸福。
Mother put the porridge on the table. I flicked a few strokes in the bowl with a spoon to make it cool faster. Then, he scooped a spoon into his mouth. The porridge is so rotten that it melts quickly in its mouth. I said to my father, "Dad, it's so good for you to cook Laba porridge." "Dad said:" you drink this bowl of Laba porridge, you will be happy and auspicious After listening to my father's words, I feel very warm and happy.
