Chinese New Year Celebration

I celebrated chinese new year as usual this year. My father's side is more traditional and we would prepare our own "Yu Sheng" to "lao yu sheng" every year during chinese new year. Everytime this year, my whole family of 40-50++ people would gather over today around the ancient round table that was there since I was born and start tossing the Yu sheng. Loud shouts of " Huat Ah! " , which means prosper, could be heard repeatedly as we begin tossing the Yu Sheng, spilling over the whole table. After the little " ceremony " like usual, we would play a little game called " finding the abalone" every year, in the enormous plate of Yu Sheng, there would only be 1-2 cans of Abalone, making the little " game " difficult and challenging. The whole scene was very chaotic as everyone took a pair of chopsticks and begin snatching for the abalone. I got 2 slices of abalone this year after a good hard work, ransacking every corner of the plate of Yu Sheng. After everyone got a share of Yu Sheng, we would clear the table and prepare for the 2nd course, the steamboat. The whole family only gathered together today and we cherished this time very much.
