大年三十晚上，全家人吃过年夜饭，就在一起聊天、玩游戏，
一直要等到零点的到来。
当新年的钟声敲响时，人们会点燃爆竹、烟花，
全国上下同时庆祝新的一年来临。
随着新年的爆竹声响起，
人们纷纷向亲戚朋友“拜年”，
互相表达新年的祝福。
在晚辈给长辈拜年之后，
长辈会给那些尚未成年的孩子们“压岁钱”，
传说压岁钱是为了压住邪崇，让孩子平平安安度过这一年。
现在的“压岁钱” 变成了事先装好钱的红色信封--- “红包”。
孩子们常常会把压岁钱攒起来，
用于购买学习用品或玩具。

On the New Year's Eve, the entire family will eat supper, chat and play games
 till midnight. 
When the bell of the New Year rings, Chinese people across the nation will light firecrackers and fireworks 
to celebrate the coming over the New Year. 
As the fireworks light up in the night sky, 
people will pay the New Year's call to their friends and relatives 
to express the New Year's blessing.
 After the younger generation pays the New Year's call to the elder, 
they may receive New Year’s money.
The believe is that the New Year’s money can suppress evil spirits and let the children live through the coming New Year safer.
Today the New Year’s money is put into a red envelop called the red package.
Usually the children will save the money
to purchase toys and school supplies.
