盼望着，盼望着，终于临近年末了，春节也即将来临。

日子一天天过去，春节的气息也越来越浓了。家家户户门前都贴上喜庆的“福”大街上人们都忙着买年货，家长领着孩子在服装店里买新衣服。许多大人们忙着清洗着自己房屋。这一切都在告诉我们：春节即将来临，好一副生机勃勃的样子。

春节终于到了，当钟声响起时，噼里啪啦鞭炮声响遍每个角落，窗外的草地上已经有许多穿着新衣服的孩子在游戏。我重睡梦中醒来，第一反应是我又长一岁，穿上新买衣服，和屋外的伙伴们一起玩耍。

大人们在自家的院子里放鞭炮，鞭炮声一浪高过一浪，许多孩子都在旁边捂着耳朵驻足观看，鞭炮响完后，就是孩子的乐园。孩子冲到鞭炮堆里去寻找未燃的鞭炮，比一比谁找的数量多。看着伙伴们都认真的在寻找，我也拿着一根小木棍努力的找着。

家家户户都换上了新的对联，看着一副副春联，我不禁想到了一副对联：”新年纳余庆，春节号长春”。家家的门前都被装扮成了红色，我不禁看到了节日的气息。还看到了人们对新的一年的希望与祝福。

拜年是每年春节必不可少的，每当到外婆家拜年时，外婆总会端来一杯用冰糖泡的冰糖茶，让我喝，接过茶一口下肚，那个甜味一下甜到心底，真想再喝一杯，接着就向外婆说着吉祥的话，拜完年后外婆就会从口袋里摸出一张红包塞进我的手里，此时我不必像平时那样看父母的脸色，而是大大方方的把红包接过，心里美滋滋的。

夜幕降临后，人们都在屋外放烟花，这激动人心的时刻，“3——2——1”瞬时，烟花四射，仿佛如惊雷般的响声出现，我忙出来观看，这一看可了不得，天空呈现迷人的黑色，再加上灿烂的烟花，让人目不暇接，红的，紫的，蓝的，绿的，金的……五彩缤纷，一个比一个漂亮，一个比一个高，就象在比美似的，只见一个金色的点，高高的飞起，这五彩的烟花仿佛就是印在天上。地上传出人们的欢声笑语，欢呼声随着烟花飘荡在节日的夜空中！

春节预示着新的一年又开始了，这你年一定充满朝气，一定充满着希望。

Hope, look forward to, finally near the end of the year, the Spring Festival is coming.

Day by day, the Spring Festival is getting thicker and thicker. Every family in front of people posted a festive "blessing" the streets are busy to buy special purchases for the Spring Festival, parents lead their children to buy new clothes in the clothing store. Many people are busy cleaning their own houses. All of this is telling us that the Spring Festival is coming, a very lively look.

Spring has finally arrived, when the bell rang, crackling firecrackers everywhere, there are many new clothes out of the window on the grass have children in the game. I woke up in my sleep, and the first reaction was that I was one year old again, put on new clothes, and played with my friends outside the house.

The adults set off firecrackers in their yard, and there was a wave of fireworks. Many children stopped by their ears. After the firecrackers were ringing, they were childrens paradise. The child rushed to the pile of firecrackers to find unflunked firecrackers, more than one. Looking at the partners, I also looked for it with a small stick.

Every family has replaced a new couplet, looking at a pair of vice spring couplets, I can not help thinking of a couplet: "New Years Yuqing, the Spring Festival Changchun." The door of the family was dressed up in red, and I could not help seeing the breath of the festival. We also see the hope and blessing of the new year.

It is essential to pay New Years call the Spring Festival every year, every time to grandma grandmother always pay New Years call, a cup of sugar candy bubble tea, let me drink tea, took a look after the sweet sweet to the heart, really want to drink a cup, then to the grandmother saying auspicious words, after she will worship from his pocket a red envelope into my hand, I need not as usual to see their parents face at this time, but the red openly took heart.

After nightfall, there are fireworks on the outside, this exciting moment, "3 - 2 - 1" instantaneous fireworks shoot, like the sound of thunder, I hurried out to watch, this watch can not, the sky show charming black, plus gorgeous fireworks, let a person dizzying, red, purple, blue, green, gold...... A riot of colours, a more than a beautiful, than a high, like in the match like, I saw a golden point, high flying, this colorful fireworks is like in heaven. On the ground, the peoples laughter and laughter, the cheering sound along with the fireworks in the festival night sky!

The Spring Festival indicates the beginning of the new year. It must be full of vigor and hope in this year.

There are many traditional festivals in China, such as the childrens day, the national day, the Dragon Boat Festival and the Mid Autumn Festival, but my favorite and most expected is the Spring Festival.

Lets talk about the origin of the Spring Festival. Legend has a monster called "year", the head long antennae, fierce and abnormal. "Year" years of deep seabed, every new years Eve just climbed out, devouring livestock harm human life. Therefore, every new years Eve, people help the aged and the young stockaded village fled to the mountains, to avoid "year" damage. A new years Eve, peach blossom village people are to help the aged and the young to take refuge, an old man came to the village, at this time, everyone on the run, who do not care about the old man, only an old woman carrying food to persuade the elderly, said: "everyone in the refugee! You can run away with the food, too. " The old man said unhurried, "can I stay in your house for a while?" The old woman hurried to persuade the elderly, the old man just only smiled but did not reply the old woman had to promise the elderly. The old man hung a red lantern in front of the house, and there was a lot of red things in front of the door. Suddenly, "year", "year" went to the front of the wife, I saw the red light scattered, "year" was scared away. At this time, sounded crackling sound of firecrackers, "year" was scared to death, escape from the village of peach blossom. Later, people called the happy day of the people "Spring Festival".

The Spring Festival is coming, the street is very busy! Malone on the road, the flow of water. A row of shops at the entrance, some hanging on every kind of lanterns, some big red lanterns hang, some affixed with "longevity, happiness as immense as the Eastern Sea" auspicious antithetical couplet. The street shop owners are Strike while the iron is hot. peddled. The small shop selling special purchases for the Spring Festival display, the size of the red lanterns and printed with a picture of auspicious antithetical couplet, dizzying, customers coming in a steady stream of Shaoxing, the boss too busy to attend to all. The children are wearing new clothes brightly coloured shuttle in the high streets and back lanes, face hung sweet smile. The streets were full of people, adults and children. The sound of firecrackers, fireworks, cheers and laughter filled the whole town, everywhere permeated with a festive atmosphere.

Not only in the street, but also at home. At home, people eat reunion dinner with relatives coming back from far away, then watch the Spring Festival Gala together, chat together, and my family is no exception. That year, our family and some relatives around the table to eat hot pot, mom and dad ate while chatting. I just sat there quietly enjoying the delicious food. After dinner, we put the fireworks in the square, a branch of a dragon like fireworks into the sky, blooming in the bright moonlight beside. I also tried to put one, but since then I cant put the fireworks again. The Spring Festival is really a beautiful day.

There are a lot of good things in the spring festival, I want to talk about good things today is very common, for you may be a little insignificant.

Spring festival is near, but the archduke is not beautiful. It s been snowing for 50 years. Snow is more than 15 cm thick, hanging under the eaves of ice hanging more than 10 cm long, frozen into disaster. Road freezing caused traffic disruption, material shortages, many poles " waist". The problem of power failure and water shortage ensued. Winter was cold, without electricity can t bake the fire, it is worse. After the power failure, my candle used up, the market did not sell, had to eat dinner early, it was dark and went to sleep. And the headache is that water stopped after the blackout. Every day in order to water to go far away to mention, water is more precious than gold! Just start to wash a face once a day, to the next two days, take a shower more " Arabian nights". This kind of life makes us return to the " primitive society" all messed up. Although the spring festival is coming, but there is no festive atmosphere, very anxious to end this " dark without light day" life immediately.

Thirty in the morning, call, water! I turned on the light, the light lit in an instant; Open the electric heating furnace, immediately hot; Tap water, immediately water " wow" flow out. I am happy to dance, " primitive society" is finally over, our life is back to normal.

I saw premier Wen visit Hunan twice in 44 hours on the special TV " fight against ice and snow" program, and climbed up the mountain to comfort the power hero regardless of danger. I can t help but sigh with emotion at the touching scene: premier Wen is so kind! How warm the party and the government are! Don t care about electricity at ordinary times, at this time is how precious, is the power hero for life.

Have such a prime minister, have such a party and government, have such a hero, isn t it a joy to us? This joy is not personal, belong to everyone!

传说中国古时侯有一种叫“年”的怪兽，头长尖角，凶猛异常，年”兽长年深居海底，每到除夕，爬上岸来吞食牲畜伤害人命，因此每到除夕，村村寨寨的人们扶老携幼，逃往深山，以躲避“年”的伤害。

又到了一年的除夕，乡亲们象往年都忙着收拾东西准备逃往深山，这时候村东头来了一个白发老人，白发老人对一户老婆婆说只要让他在她家住一晚，他定能将“年”兽驱赶走．众人不信，老婆婆劝其还是上山躲避的好，但老人坚持留下，众人见劝他不住，便纷纷上山躲避去了。

当“年”兽象往年一样准备闯进村肆虐的时候，突然传来爆竹声，“年”兽混身颤栗，再也不敢向前凑了，原来“年”兽最怕红色，火光和炸响．这时大门大开，只见院内一位身披红袍的老人哈哈大笑，“年”兽大惊失色，仓惶而逃．

第二天，当人们从深山回到村里时，发现村里安然无恙，这才恍然大悟，原来白发老人是帮助大家驱逐“年”兽的神仙，人们同时还发现了白发老人驱逐“年”兽的三件法宝．从此，每年的除夕，家家都贴红对联，燃放爆竹，户户灯火通明，守更待岁．这风俗越传越广，就成了中国民间最隆重的传统节日“过年” 。
