Winter Sostice Tomorrow is winter sostice.This year it falls on Dec. 22nd. Winter solstice is a very important solar term in Chinese Lunar calendar. Being a traditional holiday as well, it is still now celebrated in many regions. Ancient china did pay great attention to this holiday, regarding it as a big event. There was the saying that "Winter solstice holiday is greater than the spring festival". Nowadays, many regions still celebrate it as a big holiday. Northerners may have dumplings and raviolis that day while southerners may have dumplings made by rice and long noodles. Some places even have the tradition to offer sacrifices to the heaven and earth. In my hometown,people have dumplings this day. An chinese fairy tale says that if we don't have dumpling this day,our ears will be removed from our heads by coldness.Thought we dont' believe it, we still keep this custom.Maybe because dumplings are delicious. Usuallly they are served with vingar, garlic, ginger and fried hot pepper powder. Our first greeting on this day is "Have you had dumplings today?"

My cell phone is very endurable, though It's a Chinese product, for I have beening using it for five years. During this period of time, I dropped it on the ground for countless times and accidentally poured water into it once. It's really a museum piece. No wonder many of my friends says "Oh, it broke down at last!" It's very inconvenient to live without a cell phone. Thanks to its breakdown, I have a good excuse to buy a new one.
