My Favorite Holiday

         




       My favorite holiday is Korean New Year's Day. Actually, Korea has two different types of New Year’s Days.

A long time ago...

A Happy New Year's Triple

The traditional one is on February 3^rd. It is only in Korea. The other one is on January 1^st . First, the traditional Korean New Year usually lasts 5 or 6 days. It is a little bit long. Most Koreans return to their home- town because they have moved away. Then, all schools, government offices, banks, and businesses are closed. Second, Korean women make lots of traditional foods, while men usually just eat and talk with family. But young men often help their wives nowadays. Americans think this situation is somewhat strange, but it is very normal in Korea. Third, Korean wear Korean traditional clothes called “Han-book”, but young people often don’t like to wear the Korean traditional costume because they want more comfortable clothes. They are right. It is a little uncomfortable. However, Korean the traditional costume is beautiful and elegant. In my opinion, we can wear Han-Book just for special holidays, so that we can preserve our culture, which is important to us.

But, I like my Korean New Year’s Day because it gives the opportunity for the whole
family to gather and share family love.
