      when you say sponsor, does that mean they also cover the cost of the lanterns? wow! so adorable lanterns but very pricey.....esp if they are only good for 1 use! if they last multiple years, curious to know why you still shop for new ones and where do you keep them afterwards since HK apartments are so small?

    As soon as you said someone who isn't family but feels like it is, I went "I hope it's Carol" and then it was and I got so emotional!! I love the relationship you have with her.

    It’s nice seeing Taylor get together with the rest of her family. Seems like they’re genuinely inseparable. The Mid-Autumn festival is just a wonderful event overall. I honestly wish for more blessings to be given to this family. They’re well deserving of it.

    Choosing a lantern and scoring a special cookie at the mooncake shop..are a few of my happy memories when I was a kid.. we used normal candles back then. We lived more in the countryside and sat outside under the moonlight...munching water calthrop among all treats hahaha. I remember my father reading his newspaper in the bright moonlight.

    Thank you for sharing your family traditions with us!! I love watching Levi grow and how your family celebrates traditions as a Canadian Cantonese mixed family!! As a Cantonese person living in Canada, it brings me back memories to watch the Mid-Autumn Festival celebrations but also with the Canadian Thanksgiving around the corner!

    It's really gratifying to see someone so young as Carol still able to cook traditional delicacies for Mid Autumn Festival such as the lotus roots with pork patty. Many of the younger generation won't even bother to make preparations to celebrate it (it would be just another occasion to party), much less make the unique delicacies. Add oil (figuratively) - way to go!

  • @janetroberts2262
