正月十五这一天，我们全家人回家乡欢庆元宵节。

Onthe15thdayofthefirstmonth,myfamilyreturnedhometocelebratetheLanternFestival.

俗话说得好：每逢佳节倍思亲。我的家乡虽然偏僻，但这一天出门在外的人几乎都回家，所以家乡四处人来人往，欢声笑语。

进家片刻后，我随妈妈去点香。我们要点的可不是普遍的香，它有一根柱子那么粗大，一米多高，而且这一柱香分外精致美丽，外观有一条张牙舞爪的龙盘着，那条龙栩栩如生，刚要腾空而起，真是“神龙盘玉柱”。到了大宗祠，这里早已香烟袅袅，大量人都在拜佛，以求平安。我们来到自己的那一柱大香前，只见盘在香上的龙张着大嘴，好象要来一招“灵龙吐珠”，又像是对我们说：“仆人，你们终究来了，我已经等很久了，快把我点上吧！”大伯和二伯合力将桶和香搬到一边。接着二伯拿出随身带着的一瓶油，倒在香的最上面，然后点着火。即刻，微小的火苗就急速变大，变成一条火龙。很快油燃烧完，火灭了，“龙香”上不停地升起缕缕烟雾。

点完香，我们又来到二伯家门口，吊上鞭炮，等待庆祝xx的队伍的到来。听二伯讲，村里有个习俗，就是每逢元宵佳节的时候，乡里都组织迎春xx，xx的队伍来到哪家门前，哪家就要放鞭炮。所以xx的队伍所过之处，鞭炮噼里啪啦地响个不停。二伯正谈着，xx队伍已经来到门口，只见长长的xx队伍像一条长龙，东不见头，西不见尾，踏着平坦的村道缓缓向前进。有的吹横笛，有的弹琴，有的打鼓，还有的扛锦标，锦标上写着“万事如意”、“国泰民安”、“风调雨顺”等吉利大字。我正看着，爸爸已经点响了鞭炮，噼里啪啦地响了起来，鞭炮声伴着庆祝队伍入耳的笛声、琴声、鼓声，组成了一首庆祝元宵的歌。

望着缓缓离去的xx队伍，我想：元宵的庆祝活动，不正象征着人民的日子蒸蒸日上，祖国昌盛兴旺吗？看到这样喧嚷非凡、欢声鼎沸的景象，我情不自禁地在心里大喊：“我的家乡，我爱你！”
