Are You Looking Forward To Chinese New Year?
-
More like than don’t like.
I dread the spring cleaning but after each session, the sense of achievement hits some highs.
I dread the shopping with all the big crowds and long queues but I love looking at my family and relatives sharing the goodies.
I love the long weekend but am always worried if my boss would approve my leave.
My kids love CNY when they can see all their uncles, aunties and cousins. They look forward to playing with new additions ie babies and toddlers. They are deprived because I refused to get the baby toy from Toys R Us.
Yes, I don’t mind CNY despite all the cleaning and slaving around. -
I envy people who come from closely knit family. CNY is really a "bonding and gathering" time. By right as Chinese we should look forward to CNY but sometimes there are a few factors beyond our control that will affect our attitude towards the festive season. I think it’s sad because how many years can we be in this world? also I realize if the parent do not like visiting this will become a learnt behavior. Very soon when they grow up, their children will also be influenced by this behavior.
Slowly you will find the family distanced themselves with every passing year. -
Yes looking forward to reunion dinner whereby we will be having steamboat. Yummy.
It is also a time to gather and catch up in everyones life as we have been so busy the past year. Me and hubby was just saying that time passes so fast and we should cherish those who are dear to us and for those we dislike, learn to forgive and love.
A new year, a new beginning, hopefully we can all just forget the old grudges and move on.
Happy Chinese New Year everyone. -
Not looking forward to CNY this year....
What is CNY when your status is a Widow..
People will avoid me ...as I am now considered as a unlucky person.....
Did not bother to buy anything for CNY....

祝大家在新的一年里和气致祥、身体健康、家庭康泰，万事如意! 新年快乐！万事如意！阖家幸福！ -

:hugs: :hugs: Don't let others' opinions affect you and I'm sure most people don't feel this way towards widow or widower. All of us have our problems but whatever they are let us forget about them for the time being and enjoy ourselves during CNY. Enjoy your freedom (look at it this way - you can now go and do what you like without considering whether your other half like it or not) and pamper yourself this CNY and others to come. :love: HAPPY CNY!!!Not looking forward to CNY this year....

Yess, do not allow yourself to think that way. We do wish that you will find some other ways of enjoying your CNY, in your own way.
Take care of yourself and your loved ones.
新年快乐！ -
