Happy Mid Autumn Festival!!!

Alamak, so sowwie... totally slipped my mind that today is the Mid Autumn Festival ler... Accompanying the celebration, there are additional cultural or regional customs, such as:
*Eating moon cakes outside under the moon
*Putting pomelo rinds on one's head
*Carrying brightly lit lanterns
*Burning incense in reverence to deities including Chang'e
*Planting Mid-Autumn trees
*Lighting lanterns on towers
*Fire Dragon Dances
To all my Chinese friends, have a Happy Mooncake Festival!!
