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.
