Mooncake festival

Just have a real great time celebrating the Mooncake festival a day earlier!
When I started to miss lanterns and candles, which seems so far away from a lady of twenties, Ahh, then my nieces and nephews came, bringing along their candles and lanterns!
They are shy but naughty, but they are just so cute and innocent. I can't help but keep playing with them. Oh I feel so young now!
The adults are talking, the teenagers are watching tv, the children are playing with their mom laughing and singing.

Colourful candles in the dark,
Angry-bird featured lanterns hung on the sticks,
The cuties looked at the candles with innocent faces,
The youngsters competed to blow out the lights.
We sang and sang knowing only two of the sentences,
We ate the mooncake and shared out the sweets.
The moon maybe high up in the sky, cannot be seen,
But I can taste the sweetness of the smile on everyone's face.



Happy mid-autumn festival!
