假如你是chenjun,你的美国笔友jim向你了解中国传统节日——春节.用一篇120词

One possible version：
The Spring Festival is the most important traditional festival to the Chinese people.
Several days before the new year, we begin to prepare for it. My parents buy meat, fish and vegetables. Houses are cleaned up.
On the eve of the new year, the whole family get together and have a big dinner. After the meal we watch “the Spring Evening” on TV until twelve o’clock. On the first day of the new year, each of us is dressed in new clothes. When meeting others outside, we say “Happy New Year” to each other. We pay new year calls to friends and relatives. That day my parents and relatives give “Red-bags” (money) to us children. All of us have a great time.
