Happy Moon Festival to you all!
This is the second most important holiday in Chinese observance, that of the harvest on the fifteenth day of the eighth month in the lunar calendar. We celebrated today by making lanterns (you know, the typical paper lantern with vertical slits and a handle) and eating mooncakes (small embossed cakes filled with either sweet lotus paste or a sweet mixture of nuts and candied fruits). The kiddos weren't up to see the moonrise, the brightest moon of the year, according to Ar-Ma. It was beautiful, though.
La bella luna!
