This winter holiday I stayed at home. I am happy because my father and my mother could spend more time with me during the Spring Festival. Besides, on the eve of the Spring Festival, we had a great family reunion dinner and then we watched Spring Festival Party on CCTV1. Sometimes, I reviewed my lessons. I had a very wonderful holiday.
整个寒假我都呆在家里，我很高兴因为春节期间我的爸爸和妈妈能够花更多时间和我在一起。而且，在新年前夕，我们一家吃了团圆饭，然后我们看中央电视一台的春节联欢晚会。有时，我复习功课。我度过了一个非常愉快的假期。
a new year ，a new start，when i stand on the edge of a new year，i cant help thinking about my plan of next year.
just as the old saying：well began is the half of the success.so i decide that i should be at work while the others are still relaxing ，and then ，at the beginning ，im quicker than the others and of course i will get better result than the others.
but ，what i really decide to do is that i must make good of anytime i can spare though it seems impossible. while，i will do my best to live up with what i have planned，and the result will prove it.
christmas arouses increasing attention year by year in china. christmas cards become popular with students. people hold christmas parties and exchange christmas girts. a lot or tv and radio programs about christmas are on. meanwhile the spring festival is less appealing （有吸引力的）to youngsters. thus some people wonder whether christmas will replace the spring festival.
this worry is fairly unnecessary. why ？ one reason lies that christmas only affects christians，college students and joint-venture （合资企业）workers. another reason is that christmas is mostly celebrated in cities. few people in countryside show extreme interest in this exotic（带有异国情调的） festival. by contrast，the spring festival is the most influential traditional festival in every family.
i think，it is natural that with increasing exchanges with the west，a lot of western holidays have been gradually introduced into china. for us chinese we should never neglect or even discard our own traditional festivals. for centuries chinese have observed this traditional holiday to welcome the beginning of a new year. and we will treasure the spring festival forever.
