Make A Wish on Mooncake Festival

And then, it started to lift up by itself! Up, up and away!

Mooncake Festival

Up, up and away!

While it went up, I made a few wishes of my own. :)

Make a wish!

Then, all of us watched the lanterns in awe and silence. It was a sight to behold, not to mention the beautiful moon at the background.

After we let the wishing lanterns up, we continued with the lighting of paper lanterns.

Every year, we would also pray to the moon and prepare a table of offerings including mooncakes.

Offerings to the deity and the moon

Last but not least, it would be party time! We would eat mooncakes, fruits, nuts and cookies while drinking tea and chatting away. It’s a moment that I enjoy very much – the sounds of laughter, chatter and joy.

Happy Mooncake Festival

How did you celebrate your Mooncake festival? Happy Mid-Autumn!

    But will the lantern be a danger to passing airplanes? Last time it was in the news that paper lanterns released into the sky posed a problem for airplanes.

    Oohhh, I love your pink lantern! Unfortunately, I HATE moon cakes. They just taste horrible to me and I absolutely refuse to eat them during the Moon Festival. It’s okay, I’m usually too busy with the lanterns anyway.

    Dude i tried playing the laser harp, but instead of happiness it only gave me a mild sense of satisfaction. Maybe i wasn’t doing it right.

  21. I find this really interesting!
