Chinese New Year Shopping

With just less than ten days to Chinese New Year, Chinese families are beginning to shop for Chinese New Year goodies and basically prepare for the big occasion. I am done with Spring Cleaning already but I haven't done everything that should be done. A new month has already started and there was only so much time that I could spare on the household despite not doing anything at all for the past few years as I was busy taking care of my dogs who fell ill one after the other.

Anyway, I have been out shopping almost every evening and strangely, even though I have not been out shopping for almost eight months previously, it doesn't seem like there are too many things to buy. I don't know, actually, I think that the goods that are for sale in shopping malls are exactly the same stuff that were available even before I was shut at home with Snoopy.

It doesn’t matter to me if I do not have new clothes or new shoes for Chinese New Year. We have had a quiet Chinese New Year since the year my sister left for the United States, followed by the subsequent passing of my paternal grandmother. Things just aren’t the same anymore.
