Last year I went to my home country to celebrate Christmas with my family. This brought as all together. We were about 15 people around the table including my 3 sisters and their husbands, my 4 nieces, my parents, my husband, my daughter and me. Each of us helped organised this event. For example, girls did the cooking, whereas the boys took care of the ornaments. We all had a great time together and enjoyed each other company. The most special moment was when we offered and received gifts, especially children were on the tenterhooks to open their presents. This event made me appreciate my family even more and I promised myself to try and spend more time with them henceforth.
recently, I celebrated my brother's birthday. it was a small gathering including my parents and husband. all of us bought a present for him beside a birthday cake showing that he got 33. my mother did her best by cooking his favorite meal called Kebab . we were all happy that we had a chance to be next to each other and fortunate enough to show our fondness, love, and caring toward each other by having nice chats, making each other laugh and snaping photos. the moments which may not be repeated later in life
I try to adapt one of your topic, so here's my speaking:
I'm going to describe my brother''s birthday that i attended just lask week. We went for a meal in a local restaurant to celebrate his biirthday. There were about 10 of us, family members, and some of his close friends, most of them were people i've known since childhood because i and my brother used to play together. We met at restaurant and ordered some food, while we ate, everyone chatted, my brother has a good sense of humour so the conversations were really funny. I and my family prepared a special gift for my brother, it's actually my dad's ideal. We gave him a watch, 1989 Citizen, which was his favorite brand. 1989 was his birth year and the time was set to 4.30am which was the time that he was born on 3rd March. It was great to get together with faimily and friends. I had some intersting conversations, it was good oppoturnity to catch up with what my childhood friends had been up to. It was nice to wind down after hard week, the food was delicious and we went home feeling full after a fantastic meal.
Last month the 3rd was an amazing day,when me and my family celebrated my cousin's wedding in her house.Different from Europe countries, we Vietnamese families are often celebrate at home, not in the church. Well, wedding day is a particular occation, it's obviously should be prepared thoroughly. My cousin was very happy when hundred of people came to her party to gave her special gifts as well as their wishes for her marriage. I was there to help her with my family, we decorated all the tables and sorted the flowers.I love being with people in such special occations.We ate together,we cheered, we laughed and even did selfie together because we were so in high spirits! It was so nice and memorable to me and my fa mily.
As for me, a celebration that i never forget is the 2011 Tet holiday, a traditional one organized every three first days of the first month of the new lunar year. All my family members are present at that occasion.We all together prepared for the Tet like cleaning, decorating the house,making many dishes and the like. This occasion was special and joyful for me because of following reasons. First, all family members from different places came back home and enjoyed the Tet together. Second, that was the first Tet after I got married. So it was special and more interesting because my family have a new member. Also, it was the first time I could enjoy the Tet with my life partner. For those reasons, the sweet and happy memory of that Tet holiday is unforgettable.
