我們的節日臘八英語優秀作文
Laba is celebrated on the eighth day of the last lunar month, referring to the traditional start of celebrations for the Chinese New Year. "La" in Chinese means the 12th lunar month and "ba" means eight.
Legends about the origin of this festivity abound. One holds that over 3,000 years ago sacrificial rites called "La "(臘) were held in the twelfth lunar month when people offered their preys to the gods of heaven and earth. The Chinese characters for prey (獵物) and the twelfth month (臘) were interchangeable then, and ever since "La" has been used to refer to both.
Since the festival was held on the eighth day of the Last month, people later appended the number eight ("ba" in Chinese), giving us the current Laba .
The majority Han Chinese have long followed the tradition of eating Laba rice porridge on the Laba Festival. The date usually falls in mid-January.

今天是臘八節，被寒假快樂沖昏頭腦的我早把這個小節日忘記了。
“吃飯了!”爸爸便急忙喊道。的確有些餓，想到馬上就能吃到媽媽燒的香噴噴的紅燒肉和拿手的糖醋魚，我趕緊去洗了手。
“什麼?今天喝粥?”我望著每人面前的一碗粥，不滿地嚷道。抬眼看看平時一樣討厭喝粥的爸爸，想找到同盟，一齊“反抗”，沒想到爸爸正津津有味地大口大口地吃著。再看看媽媽、爺爺，他們也都吃得樂呵呵的。這是怎么啦?爺爺看我在發愣，便放下碗，饒有意味地吟誦道：“今朝佛粥更相饋，反覺江村節物新。婷婷，粥是寶啊，不可浪費!”我還沒回過神兒，媽媽義開口了：“早(棗)下力(栗)氣，來年豐收。婷婷，這粥有營養，吃吧!吃了臘八棗，背起書包往家跑。婷婷，快放假了吧?別呆了，快吃呀!”
“喔……”似乎這粥還有什麼深意!我剛捧起碗，爸爸一陣狼吞虎咽，一碗粥已吃完了。他放下碗，大聲喊道：“過了臘八，不怕啦!”看著奇怪的大人們，我也學著他們的樣子，“大吃大喝”了起來。真是奇怪，一陣猛喝之後，原本冰涼的手變得暖和起來了。
邊吃邊聽他們聊著，我才慢慢明白過來：原來今天是十二月初八，傳說佛祖釋迦牟尼成佛前進山修行，十二月初八這天因飢餓勞累栽倒路旁，被一牧羊女發現，用大米粥救活，後來大徹大悟，得道成佛。臘八這一天有吃臘八粥的習俗，摻在白米中的五穀雜糧總計不下20種，吃了以後可以增福增壽，故又稱“福壽粥”。
原來，這看似普通的一碗粥有這么深刻的意義，於是我趕快請媽媽傳授做“福壽粥”的方法。媽媽告訴我，先準備好要用的材料：必不可少的是粥米，豆、棗三樣，其他可根據自家人口味配比，如核桃、粟子，玉米、葡萄乾等。玉米要提前泡3—4小時，其他材料可混合洗淨，再將所有的材料一起放入鍋內，加足量水，燒開小火熬成粥即可。喜歡甜的就放些冰糖一起熬，用紫砂煲，三小時就能喝上粥了……
在我們這裡，臘八粥熬好後，先要敬神祭祖，再贈送親友，一定要在中午之前送出去，最後才是全家人食用。吃剩的臘八粥，保存著吃了幾天還有剩下，卻是好兆頭，取其“年年有餘”的意思。
臘八節喝臘八粥真有趣。這象徵著多福多壽的臘八粥，大家可別忘了十二月初八喝一大碗啊!
