Today is the laba festival, carried away by happy winter vacation I forget the little holiday before.

"Have a meal!" His father shouted hastily. Indeed some hungry, can eat immediately think of to my mother cooked delicious braise in soy sauce meat and specialty of sweet and sour fish, I go to wash their hands.

"What? Drink porridge today?" I looked at the front of each of a bowl of porridge, cried in a discontent. Hate looks up at the usual drink of porridge, dad wants to find Allies, "resistance" together, I didn't think my father is exhaled with relish to eating. Look at mother, grandpa, they also eat very cheerful. This is what's the matter? See my grandpa in become speechless, then put down the bowl, a meaningful intones: "the present Buddha congee is more feedback, the festival new jiang village. Tingting, porridge is treasure, do not waste!" I haven't bring myself, mom just openings: "dint (fall) (date), early harvest next year. Tingting, this porridge has nutrition, eat! Eat laba jujube, back schoolbag ran home. Tingting, quick holiday? Don't stay, quick to eat!"

"Oh..." It seems that the porridge still have what meaning! I just took the bowl, dad a voracious, a bowl of porridge has been finished. He put down the bowl and shouted: "laba, not afraid!" Watching strange adults, I also learn to them, "eat". It's strange, after a fierce to drink, the original cold hands become warm rise.

Ate and listen to their talking, I slowly understood: today is December 8, original legend into practice before the Buddha sakyamuni Buddha, December eighth day that day because of hunger fatigue zaidao street, was a shepherdess found, revive with rice porridge, then big end, to enlightenment. Laba day has the tradition of eating laba rice porridge, mixing in the rice grain a total of more than 20 kinds, ate later can increase elongating life, so it is also called "live".

It turns out that this seemingly ordinary a bowl of porridge with so profound meaning, so I hurry please mother taught to do a "live porridge" method. Mother told me, ready to use the material: the first essential is porridge rice, beans, jujube, three by other according to the ratio of taste, such as walnut, chestnut, corn, etc. Corn to bubble is 3-4 hours ahead of time, other materials can be mixed wash, and then put together all the material in a pan, add enough water to boil small fire boil into porridge. Like sweet just put some sugar boil, together with a cooker, three hours can have porridge...

In our here, laba rice porridge boil after, to worship god worshipping, gift friends and relatives again, be sure to sent out before noon, the last is the whole family to eat. Eating leftover laba rice porridge, save for a few days and left, is a good one million head, take its the meaning of "more than" year after year.

It was fun to drink the laba festival laba rice porridge. This symbolizes the laba rice porridge of live long and prosper, you don't forget December eighth day to drink a big bowl!

今天是腊八节，被寒假快乐冲昏头脑的我早把这个小节日忘记了。

“吃饭了!”爸爸便急忙喊道。的确有些饿，想到马上就能吃到妈妈烧的香喷喷的红烧肉和拿手的糖醋鱼，我赶紧去洗了手。

“什么?今天喝粥?”我望着每人面前的一碗粥，不满地嚷道。抬眼看看平时一样讨厌喝粥的爸爸，想找到同盟，一齐“反抗”，没想到爸爸正津津有味地大口大口地吃着。再看看妈妈、爷爷，他们也都吃得乐呵呵的。这是怎么啦?爷爷看我在发愣，便放下碗，饶有意味地吟诵道：“今朝佛粥更相馈，反觉江村节物新。婷婷，粥是宝啊，不可浪费!”我还没回过神儿，妈妈义开口了：“早(枣)下力(栗)气，来年丰收。婷婷，这粥有营养，吃吧!吃了腊八枣，背起书包往家跑。婷婷，快放假了吧?别呆了，快吃呀!”

“哦……”似乎这粥还有什么深意!我刚捧起碗，爸爸一阵狼吞虎咽，一碗粥已吃完了。他放下碗，大声喊道：“过了腊八，不怕啦!”看着奇怪的大人们，我也学着他们的样子，“大吃大喝”了起来。真是奇怪，一阵猛喝之后，原本冰凉的手变得暖和起来了。

边吃边听他们聊着，我才慢慢明白过来：原来今天是十二月初八，传说佛祖释迦牟尼成佛前进山修行，十二月初八这天因饥饿劳累栽倒路旁，被一牧羊女发现，用大米粥救活，后来大彻大悟，得道成佛。腊八这一天有吃腊八粥的习俗，掺在白米中的五谷杂粮总计不下20种，吃了以后可以增福增寿，故又称“福寿粥”。

原来，这看似普通的一碗粥有这么深刻的意义，于是我赶快请妈妈传授做“福寿粥”的方法。妈妈告诉我，先准备好要用的材料：必不可少的是粥米，豆、枣三样，其他可根据自家人口味配比，如核桃、粟子，玉米、葡萄干等。玉米要提前泡3—4小时，其他材料可混合洗净，再将所有的材料一起放入锅内，加足量水，烧开小火熬成粥即可。喜欢甜的就放些冰糖一起熬，用紫砂煲，三小时就能喝上粥了……

在我们这里，腊八粥熬好后，先要敬神祭祖，再赠送亲友，一定要在中午之前送出去，最后才是全家人食用。吃剩的腊八粥，保存着吃了几天还有剩下，却是好兆头，取其“年年有余”的意思。

腊八节喝腊八粥真有趣。这象征着多福多寿的腊八粥，大家可别忘了十二月初八喝一大碗啊!
