and then help mom to prepare the feast for praying !
during the Chinese new year , each Taiwanese mom always busy for praying and prepare food for Gold! beacuase this period ! all the Golds will leave their work and back to heaven to do some report, it is call " send gods" and people will provide some candy or cookie or feast let them bring back !! ha ha , very interesting!!
so , this is the activities in the morning !! aftert that , mom was busy for our feast for dinner, all the family member must be together to eat the hot pot , in reflecting the family reunion. Also, it need dumpling and new year cake.
