Sweet Reunion

Today is Mom's birthday, and the Chinese occasion of Dong1 Zhi4 when family members get together to eat Tang1 Yuan2 (sweet glutinous balls in soup) to signify mid-winter(not sure)? and to reunite family members. Tang Yuan= Yuan2 Man3 and it has to be sweet to be the perfect, 'sweet' reunion.

And hence, i will go home today.
