Those yesteryears of playing lanterns and eating mooncakes, sometimes watching Chinese movie together on tv with family during mid autumn festival are long gone. Now it is just another ordinary day.
ReplyDeleteYa now because there are no children in the family so no celebration.
Deletenot just the children...Last time the elderly will sit outside (at garden or car porch) after dinner to enjoy the full moon and watching children play or just chat with the neighbors. Nowadays, everyone just stay indoors and sent greetings via whatsapp.
DeleteThe mini mooncake is so cute! It is ideal, just eat one and be done with it LOL! I remember those years as a child, me and the neighborhood kids would walk around with lanterns. I wonder if kids of today do this. Nowadays, I also like to eat dinner early especially weekends.
ReplyDeleteYes the children still walk around gated guarded communities such as condos with their lanterns as the residents association will organise the celebrations.
