1st family reunion

2025.2.1
My big happy family 1st reunion.
Today, Saturday, is the 4th day of CNY.
It is a bit late to gather and to celebrate.
Can't help it though, since most members,
Worked during the weekdays.
Great grandma, grandmas, mothers and fathers, all 
Sisters and brothers, including the in-law.
Aunties and Uncles, nephew, nieces and cousins
And their girl and boy friends.
Grand children and great grandchildren,
One of them was even 'bun in oven'.
So many of them. 
Even from Europe joined through Face Time.
All was here to greet each other,
Delivered the best wishes and congratulations.
They dressed in their best outfit.
Red packets, Angpows and Lixi,
Danced across the room to reach the children.
They were happy and could get rich from receiving money.
Most of us sat in the lounge room,
Few worked in the kitchen, 
To prepare the special New Year treats,
All the food has no meat.,
Everyone happy to share the munching moment.
Lot of biscuits, lollies and sweets,
Wrapped in well wishes plastic.
They were placed in the hexagon container, disappeared bit by bit.
It was the atmosphere that I enjoyed most, today.
I think it was same for all others,
It was hard to tell when we shall meet again.
Happy Chinese New Year,
Keep on practicing the tradition.
Continue on sharing the happy family reunion.
Good luck and good bye.
