羊年，春晚，抢红包……这个相似又不同的春节你怎么过的？
Chinese New Year, also called Spring Festival, has more than 4,000 years of history. Being one of the traditional Chinese festivals, it is the grandest and the most important festival for Chinese people. It is also the time for the whole families to get together, which is similar with Christmas Day to the westerners.
2015 is the Year of the goat. Some people question that we should be ushering in the Year of the Goat or Sheep. The answer is some historical facts demonstrate that Goat is correct. But people prefer sheep as sheep are more adorable and fluffy. Actually sheep or goat does not matter. The most important thing is that people like the atmosphere of New Year.
So how did you spend your holiday of Spring festival of Goat's year? Are there any special traditional customs in your hometown? Are there any different change you found after you back home? And how may money you got from your red envelopes, especially those you grabbed from your cellphone?
Topic discussion reference :
1.The funny or special things happen to you during this holiday.
2.How did you do when your big family push you to get marrage?
3.What do you think of those cracy cellphone red envelopes?
话题讨论参考：
1.聊聊春节8天你是怎么过的？
2.如何应对三姑六婆的劝婚？租个男/女朋友回去？
3.你怎么看待今年风靡的抢手机红包？
