We 1 (eat)out for the Spring Festival family dinner for the last three years, and we have enjoyed it no 2 (little) than eating at home. I don't understand why some people refuse 3 (embrace) the change.
Can't they admit that the 4 (prepare) for the dinner are hard work? I really don't think it's worth the effort of spending so much time preparing for a single meal, and then another hour 5 (clean) up the mess after it's over. We work all year, so why can't one day be about spending time with family and relaxing?
Eating out is a good choice and it has nothing to do 6 loss of traditions. We still have the dinner with the same people, just in 7 different place. The occasion is more enjoyable without all that 8 (tired) cooking, and the dishes taste better!
