We have a lot of holiday, but the Lunar New Year and Chuseok(Korean Thanksgiving Day) the most important holiday. Koreans like to wear Hanbok(traditional Korean clothing) on Chuseok or New Year’s day.
The Lunar New Year’s day is 1st of January in the lunar calendar, we usually go down to hometown and get together with family in grandparents’ house. We eat rice cake soup and a lot of food, but this food is too greasy. That’s why we decide to start a diet after the new year. When we meet at home, we usually drink alcohol and play yut(traditional game). We should bow to grandparents and parents, and then we can receive a lot of money and words of blessing to the children.
Chuseok is also important holiday on August 15th in the lunar calendar. It’s celebrated harvest.
We go to hometown this Chuseok also. We make rice cakes and eat it. I think it’s very similar to New Year’s day.
These holiday, we usually visit relation’s house and go to cemetery. And then we set the table in front of grave, next all people who go to cemetery should bow to grave. I like New year’s day and Chuseok, because I can take a rest for 3 days, but my mother hate New Year and Chuseok, All of mother is hard to cook the traditional food. However we enjoy the holiday.
