春节记事英语作文(合集20篇)

过年了，家家户户开始忙碌起来。到底在忙什么呢？原来是在准备年夜饭呢。

家庭主妇们算是最忙得了，她们买菜、洗菜便忙着准备做一年之中最丰盛、最富意义的年夜饭。妈妈忙的额头上直冒汗，而我呢？却快乐的和爸爸打羽毛球，真有点内疚。突然，我闻到了很香的味道。我摸了摸肚子感觉在咕咕叫，于是我顺着香味走了进去，啊！原来是我最喜欢吃的红烧鸡和红烧肉。我连忙拿了一双筷子夹了块肉吃吃，真香！我又拿了一个鸡腿啃起来味道也不错。妈妈说：“不要吃了，这样很不礼貌呀！饿了去吃点饼干吧。”

快到吃年夜饭的时候了，吃年夜饭可是有讲究的，在吃饭之前要先祭拜祖宗。开始吃年夜饭了，我们有说有笑非常开心，大人们还要喝酒，今天爸爸喝多少酒妈妈都不会怪他的。席间，爸爸突然说：“怎么，红烧鸡少了一只腿呀！是不是被小狗吃了。”这时我脸红了，而大家却哈哈大笑。

中国有很多传统节日，其中我最喜欢的是春节。因为大家都喜气洋洋，一家人能够快快乐乐的团聚在一起。

春节在农历正月初一，是辞旧迎新的日子。一般要到正月十五(元宵节)新年才算结束。在春节期间，中国的汉族和一些少数民族都要举行各种各样的庆祝活动，他们形式丰富多彩，带有浓郁的民族特色。人们在春节这一天都尽可能的回到家里和亲人团聚在一起，表达了对新一年的期盼和祝愿。

我是这样度过春节的：每年春节我们一家都要回到苏北老家，把家里打扫得一尘不染。然后把旧的春联换成新的桃符，为新的一年祈福。大年三十晚上，我们一家都会一起观看春节联欢晚会，每年的春晚都有很多精彩的节目。爸爸还会带我放烟花，看着天空那五颜六色的烟花像一朵朵盛开的鲜花，一股喜悦涌上心头。大年初一我穿上新衣，吃了饺子和汤圆(奶奶说是“元宝”寓意着新的一年大吉大利)，然后开始到亲戚家拜年。每年我都能拿到许许多多红包，我会买一些心仪的礼物给自己和家人，剩下的钱我会存起来用于后面购买学习用品......

我喜欢春节热热闹闹的气氛，我喜欢春节五彩缤纷的烟花，我还喜欢春节美味的“元宝”。春节就像一幅画卷，这幅画卷美不胜收，我爱这个节日!

今天是大年三十，我们到奶奶家去过年。

早上，我们吃完早饭，就向奶奶家出发了。到了那已经是中午了，我们吃完了中饭，开始自己干自己的事。我在玩耍，奶奶和妈妈过了一会儿开始准备晚饭，爷爷和爸爸忙着贴春联。

不知不觉地到了傍晚，我们吃玩晚饭，就和爸爸妈妈一起去放烟花，然后大家坐在一起聊天，到了8点，就开始看春节晚会了。春节晚会里有小品、魔术、跳舞、唱歌等……我最喜欢看魔术了，因为很想知道他们是怎么变的。

春节的韵味难以抑制，竟忘了我还在成长，我还是那颗星星，只属于那片天空，礼花四溅……——题记

百里不同风，千里不同俗。

时光如奔腾的江河，轻轻地、匆匆地从之间流过，如花瓣飘落……不知不觉，那充满回忆的20__匆匆地从手边溜去了，迎来了一个新的岁月，开始了我的新一段旅程。

翻开日历，翻开了新的一年，翻开了新的一段精彩花絮。也撕下了那过去的一页……我静静回想着自己过去的一年里，有汗水，有快乐，也有悲伤，那仿佛就在眼前。

一如既往的农村夜晚，路边的灯虽不如都市明亮如昼，但他们总像哨兵一样规整地站立着，似乎在守着农村的家家户户，漆黑的天幕上镶嵌着几颗宝石般的星星，又如天公的眼睛一般明亮。

又是一个崭新的大年三十，丰盛的年夜饭摆上了桌，全家人都聚集在圆桌周围，津津有味地吃着年夜饭。一家人相互斟酒，祝愿大家四季平安。我在这快乐的氛围里慢嚼细咽，享受着“年”的幸福，这就是“年”味儿啊!欢声笑语，笑脸喜气，洋溢在整个家里。守望春节，守望希望，守望幸福。亲人的慰问让我感受到亲情的暖意，时光在充满温馨的家庭里，在浓浓的“年”味儿里舞蹈。

屋外的天空骤然明亮起来，鞭炮声声，打破夜的宁静。星星点点的烟花似流星的火花向四周飞去，似一朵娆娆的莲花，在空中撒出柔美的花瓣。我静静得看着一朵朵绽放的烟花，五彩斑斓。似流星徘徊在夜空;似天女在空中撒花;似星际在空中舞动……

池边的夜皇后花在微风的吹拂下，似飞起了无数只萤火虫，如无数的精灵在空中飞舞……

在这里人们抹去了往年的不愉快，旧日的烦恼被抛到九霄云外，迎来了春节的欢乐，也给自己注入了新的信心和力量。

是世界在呼喊?是而在跳跃?硝烟弥漫在空中，我知道，那是“年”味儿。春节气息，礼花层出不穷，缤纷的美，绚丽的美，绽放出人们对幸福的憧憬，那闪耀的心花……如璀璨的繁星闪烁……灯火通明，照彻了大地。

我望着天边那一层薄薄的光：那又何不是人们祈望的幸福?何不是春节心中美好的未来向往?

迎接春节的晨曦，那何不美好?何不宁澈?和不是绚烂美好的憧憬?

我在时光中成长，成长没有阴影，只在悲伤中坚强。迎来了新的一年，飘来了我的祝福……

Every day, we can see the figures of the volunteers. Actually, they have

formed a kind of scenery of the city. Some people hold that volunteering is

merely a waste of time, because the volunteers have no gains with pains.

However, I believe that doing voluntary is quite rewarding.

In the first place, we can put into practice what we have learnt before,

for instance, when we were asked by a foreigner about the way to some place, we

could practice our oral foreign language, it’s definitely a good opportunity to

express ourselves in a foreign language correctly and clearly.

In the second place, we could make a lot of new friends while we are

volunteering As a proverb says, “At home one relies on one’s parents and outside

on one’s friends”, so it is never a bad thing to have lots of friends.

Finally, helping others is a good way to make you feel happy and when you

help others solve a problem successful, you will feel fulfillment. In this

sense, we reap a bountiful spiritual harvest by doing voluntary work.

On the whole, we can benefit a lot by engaging ourselves in the voluntary

work. Therefore, I suggest those that have abundant spare time registering as

volunteers for the welfare for the public.

A happy girl 一个快乐的女孩

“爆竹声中一岁除，春风送暖入屠苏”在这欢乐愉快的气氛下，我终于盼来了快乐的除夕夜，这一夜，是20xx年的最后一个夜晚，到处都洋溢着浓浓的年味儿，到处都充满着过年的喜悦，到处都充满着过年的气氛

我们家也同所有人家一样，都忙着包饺子、贴对联、放烟花可不同与往常的是，远在河北的表哥和美国的表姐都要回来了，我们又可以一起在奶奶家开开心心的吃年夜饭，高高兴兴地看春节联欢晚会，还可以彻彻底底的和书本说“再见”，无忧无虑的放烟花爆竹呢!

“开饭了!”年夜饭在妈妈的召唤声中拉开了序幕。我们一家人围在餐桌上用餐，叔叔忽然提议：“今天是大年三十，要不我们就趁着今晚给大家送些祝福吧!”妈妈立即指向一盘龙虾说道：“我祝大家龙年吉祥!”爸爸也不甘示弱，指着一盘红烧鲤鱼祝福道：“我祝大家年年有余。”接着爸爸又指向我：“凯伦，该你了吧!”所有人都把目光投向了我，我立即显得有些惊慌失措，突然，我指着一般年糕说：“我祝大家在新的一年里步步高升!”所有人都鼓起了掌。大家就这样你一言，我一语的祝福声中，吃了一顿丰富而快乐的年夜饭。

晚饭过后，我和妹妹们立即迫不及待的搬出早已准备好的烟花炮竹来到院子里，爸爸点燃了导火线，只见一束束美丽的烟花飞上天空，向四面慢慢散开，好似一朵朵艳丽的花朵，又似一条条飘逸的彩带，把黑漆漆的天空装扮的绚丽多姿，璀璨无比。

最后我们一家人都坐在沙发上观看着精彩的春晚。

在美好的鞭炮声中我们度过了一个快乐的除夕夜。

春节是一年当中最隆重、最盛大的节日。春节正悄悄地向我们走来，大街小巷都洋溢着节日的气息，各个商场里人山人海，热闹非凡，不管是老人还是小孩子们手里都是大包小包的，脸上洋溢着节日快乐的笑容。

过新年我最高兴做的事就是贴“春联”呢!“千门万户瞳瞳日总把新桃换旧符”妈妈特别吩咐我，让我去找几对春联，贴在我家门上。于是，我找到了两对春联，我大声读道：“喜居宝地千门旺福照家门万事兴”还有一幅上面写着：“春风春光春意正人喜人乐人自高”妈妈说春联都是吉祥话，是人们祈求在新得一年里能过上快乐幸福的日子。我们全家一起装饰屋子，在客厅里，我挂了一个红艳艳的小灯笼，爸爸又在别的屋子里挂了些五光十色的小彩灯，一闪一闪，一亮一亮，有的是小礼物形的，有的是花骨朵形的，还有的带着细细的尖儿。它们有的红艳艳，红得像冬天的糖葫芦一样，有的黄澄澄，黄得像秋天的树叶一样，有的绿油油，绿得像夏天的小草一样，有的粉嘟嘟，粉得像春天的丁香花一样，屋里很美，我的准备工作终于结束了。

我们一家人吃完晚饭，便准时地围在电视机前收看“春节联欢晚会”，我们津津有味地看着。晚会的节目丰富多彩：相声、小品让我们捧腹大笑;唱歌、跳舞让我们跟着载歌载舞;魔术、杂技让我们啧啧称赞。晚会进入了高潮，“当当当……”十二点钟声敲响了，瞧，外面成了烟花的世界。窗外简直是火树银花，格外绚丽。看那千姿百态的烟花多美呀!有的像“仙女散花”，有的像“大红花”，有的像“满天繁星”，有的像“龙飞凤舞”……多么像一个“空中花园”!这些烟花使人看得目不暇接，把天空点缀得五光十色。我和弟弟也迫不及待拿着烟花跑到屋外，我们先拉了一鞭，在鞭炮声中，我心想：“新的一年来临了。我暗暗地许下心愿，希望在新的一年里我的学习成绩能更进一层楼。

大年初一，我们就开始走东家串西家地拜年。拜年也可以为我们攒点压岁钱。先是向爷爷奶奶拜年，祝爷爷奶奶在新的一年里身体健康，万事如意。然后，爷爷奶奶就会说真乖，就开始拿压岁钱。

My plan of next year

A new year ，a new start，when I stand on the edge of a new year，I can#39;t 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 ，I#39;m 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.
