The Mid-Autumn Festival is an exciting traditional holiday. It is celebrated not only in Vietnam but also in some other parts of Asia as well, such as China, Japan and Korea. Annually, it is on 15th August of the lunar calendar, when the full moon shines at night. The original meaning of this festival is that it represents the family reunion or gatherings. People will come back home and eat moon cakes together. Nowadays, in Vietnam, the Mid-Autumn festival is mainly an occasion for the kids to celebrate and enjoy the best time of the year. Parents often buy star-shaped lanterns for their kids, there are also some special events such as lantern parades for them on this day.  The Mid-Autumn festival is a chance for me to remember my childhood and feel young again.
