CHINESE NEW YEAR

my family.
On Saturday we went to the Chinese New Year parade in downtown San Francisco with our cousins and aunt. There were a lot of schools, bands, and dragons in the parade. I liked the dragons but it was kind of annoying when they would get really close to you and knock your hat off. A Chinese dragon usually means good luck and the longer it is the more luck it gives to the community.

It is now the year of the ram so there were some ram costumes in the bands and schools. I also liked the lion costumes and some of the dancers. It was a really long parade and we didn't get to watch it all because we got hungry.

The parade originally started in San Francisco in 1860. It was started by some Chinese immigrants who felt like they wanted some of their culture from their old home to be in there new home.
