Seek, the heart of the flavor of the year, to regain

Nearing the vacation, also know that the footsteps of the Spring Festival is near, the most important day of the year to, full of red, festive atmosphere, but the heart can not stir up a ripple, I do not know just how I feel so, or everyone is also so.

I don't know when to start, the year hasn't changed, the necessary rituals haven't changed, the atmosphere of the Spring Festival is more and more intense, but the inner flavor of the year is more and more faded, but also more and more despondent.

Maybe it's because we're getting older, or the times are changing, or we're getting more and more "frugal" -------

The sense of grand rituals that characterized New Year's Eve when I was a child is all that's left. I always feel that nowadays the New Year seems to be no different from normal days, just a few more days of vacation, a few more meals and drinks, the convenience of going back to your hometown to pay a visit to your relatives who usually don't even have a phone call, and maintain the invisible blood relations.

Some people say that the flavor of the year is light, because we are less involved, and when you think about it, there is a certain truth to it.

The flavor of the year when I was a child, perhaps from the winter vacation began. The beginning of the holiday, we know that the footsteps of the Spring Festival is near, which day to go to the market with his mother to buy meat, fish, select chickens and ducks, which day mom and dad to take us on the street to buy new clothes, which day to go to the wholesale market to buy fruits, candies, sesame candies, etc. ------- In preparation for New Year's Eve, there is always something you want to do every day.

The interesting things in the year is also every moment is staged, limited fireworks, candy, New Year's Eve while watching the Spring Festival Gala, while eating just out of the pot of lo mei, every time I think of that time behind the back of Mom and Dad to hide in the cupboard to steal food scene, is still sweet.

Now, however, despite the fact that there are New Year's goods available everywhere, full of red Chinese characters of fortune, and there are also preserved meat sent from the hometown, boxes and boxes of New Year's gift boxes, I don't know how to make my daughter feel that we are going to celebrate the New Year, so that she can feel the joy of the Spring Festival!

Unwilling to spend time and energy to make all kinds of food with their own hands, lazy to travel to savor the atmosphere of the city's Spring Festival ------

Less participation in the preparation of New Year's Eve, less family to tell the story of past New Year's Eve experiences, and less nagging to greet each other about the shortcomings of the parents. The pursuit of saving the day, more and more feel that the flavor of the New Year is also saved.

Realizing that the effort to regain the flavor of the year,

In fact, the heart of the flavor of the year has not disappeared,

just that we grew up,

heart slack,

not as busy as the father generation,

guided the children involved in the preparation of the Spring Festival.

The flavor of the year, has always been there, I hope that 2021 we can regain the flavor of the year in our hearts!
