Festival

There are a lot of chinese festival in a year
And everyone seems enjoy to celebrate it

Today is MoonCake Festival or ppl called Mid Autumn Festival
Went to my friend BBQ party
then go back home before 12am

When I back home
I start asking myself
why we celebrate these festivals?

I'm pretty sure
Chinese always take "Union" as a very important things
but I can see
This Union always happened for Friends Reunion
not Family
Today i quite wish to celebrate with my family member
but my parents and elder sis went to wedding dinner
my 2nd sister went to somebody party
my 2nd bro.. i dunno where is him cause i dun see him since i back from college
n myself went to fren's party

why not a family reunion but a fren reunion?
have ppl misunderstand what a festival purpose?
i can understand some ppl cant celebrate with family because of certain reason
but why my 2nd bro n 2nd sis cant celebrate wif me?

pathetic night..
