作为一个古老的传统，人们把这一天视为盛大的'一天，他们庆祝它。在北方，大多数人吃饺子，而在南方，人们吃粽子和水饺。尽管人们以不同的方式庆祝，但他们共享相同的幸福，一家人聚在一起吃大餐。冬至给家人一个团聚的机会，年轻人回家与父母聊天，促进他们的沟通。

在这一天，北半球的白天最短，夜晚最长。冬至过后，白天会越来越长。正如中国古代所认为的那样，阳气或肌肉发达的`积极事物在这一天之后会变得越来越强壮，所以应该庆祝。
冬至在汉朝（公元前206年至公元220年）成为一个节日，并在唐和宋（618-1279年）蓬勃发展。汉族人把冬至视为“冬节”，所以官方会组织庆祝活动。在这一天，官员和老百姓都会休息。军队进驻，边防要塞关闭，商业和旅行停止。亲友们互相赠送了美味的食物。在唐宋时期，冬至是祭天祭祖的日子。皇帝们会去郊外祭天；而普通人则向死去的父母或其他亲属献祭。清朝（1644-1911）甚至有“冬至如春”的记载，显示了对这一天的高度重视。
在中国北方的一些地区，人们在这一天吃饺子汤；而其他一些地方的居民吃饺子，他们说这样做可以在即将到来的冬天防止霜冻。但在中国南方的部分地区，全家人会聚在一起吃一顿红豆和糯米饭，以驱除鬼魂和其他邪恶的东西。在其他地方，人们也吃汤圆，一种用糯米粉做成的馅小汤圆。冬至粽子既可以用来祭祖，也可以用来馈赠亲友。台湾人甚至有向祖先供奉九层饼的习俗。
他们用糯米粉做成鸡、鸭、乌龟、猪、牛或羊的形状的蛋糕，然后在不同的锅层上蒸。这些动物在中国传统中都象征着吉祥。同姓或同族的人聚集在他们的宗祠，按照年龄顺序崇拜他们的祖先。祭祀仪式结束后，总会举行盛大的宴会。

他把冬至、冬至作为“节日”，在汉代统治者以贺礼称为“贺冬”，官定节假日，官场日常流行各种“冬”崇拜习俗。《都》中有这样的记载：“冬至前后，君子居静体，百官，景，然后择吉日辰存烦。”于是朝野休息，到部队待命，边陲撤退，商旅歇业，家家户户以食，互访，欢欢喜喜的节日“居静体”。在六朝时，冬至被称为“岁”，人们向长辈们致以节日的问候，问候父母；宋代以后，冬至节逐渐成为祭祀祖先和神灵的节日。
唐宋时期，冬至是祭拜祖先的日子，皇帝在外面举行祭拜，人们在这一天向父母或长辈进行祭拜。明清两代，皇帝都要拜“冬至交日”。有赐给皇帝、表官的仪式，也有互相祝贺的'，如元旦。
冬季节昨天也来了，手在冬天。它是二十四节气之一，是中国的传统节日，有“冬至大如一年”。冬至补品，是我国的传统习俗，民间传说：补过一个冬天，来年无痛苦。夏季电压，冬季一次性付清。冬至补，养料。

俗话说，睡到半夜。在这一天，白天最短，夜晚最长。
冬至的习俗是包饺子。12月22日，爷爷、奶奶、爸爸和妈妈在家里一起包饺子。我们先洗手，然后把奶奶准备的肉从冰箱里放出来。接下来，是时候开始了。我先把皮放在手上，然后用竹筷子抓一点肉，在皮的中间，然后用手指轻轻地蘸碗水，把皮绕一圈弄湿，然后，把皮对折，用手捏紧。这样，饺子就完成了。
“太好了，我的小龙包完了，看起来好像扎着洋葱辫，很可爱！”
“包饺子，该煮饺子了！”奶奶端着锅说。
一个看起来像弯月面的饺子，全部变成了热气腾腾的温泉。他们中的.一些人在水中翻腾，一些人在水里游泳，还有一些人泡在“温泉”里。饺子是一个一个煮的。我、爷爷、奶奶、爸爸和妈妈，几个人围在一张桌子旁，都卷起来吃。
“哇！奶奶包的饺子很好吃！”我惊呼道。

当我很小的时候，我的祖母会告诉我在冬至吃饺子。如果我不吃饺子，我的耳朵会冻僵的。我会狼吞虎咽吃饺子。随着年龄的增长，我从书本上知道冬至不吃饺子耳朵也不会冻。
事实上，冬至是中国农历中一个非常重要的.节气。它也是中华民族的传统节日。冬至俗称“冬节”、“端午”、“儿子年”等，是每年公历12月21日至23日之间北半球白天最短、夜晚最长的一天。冬至是一个很大的节气，它引起了人们的注意。人们在冬至吃美味的食物是一种传统习俗。饺子在北方大部分地区都吃，在南方也有。无论你吃什么，这都是人们对来年希望的好兆头。
每年农历冬至，饺子都是我们家不可或缺的盛宴。我们一家人聚在一起，吃着热气腾腾的饺子。这时，奶奶总是对我说：“多吃点，肚子会卷的，晚上吃吧，做个好梦！”冬至的晚上，虽然外面又冷又冷，但家里温暖而喜庆。不幸的是，我父亲今年独自出差，没能在冬至晚上回来。我更想念他。

听奶奶说：冬至是四大传统节日之一，冬至的开始是寒冷的节气；当太阳升起时，“冬至——日出”也是一个充满希望的节日。在我们家乡西北部的一个小山村里，人们想在冬至吃包子。因为有句老话：冬至节，光头冻得血肉模糊。当人们吃馒头的时候，他们会“包”起，期待来年的到来。奶奶仍然遵守这个习俗。
去年冬至，奶奶一大早就做好了面条、羊肉和胡萝卜馅。听说做包子，我赶紧洗手，跑到案板前，接过奶奶压好的面团，开始学做包子。我奶奶教我：“把面团放在左手里，用右手舀馅料。用右手拇指和食指捏皮的侧面，用中指沿着背的侧面，边捏边拉，最后捏在一起拧成猪尾巴。很难听到。我必须有点技术性。奶奶说：“我不怕。”。我会学一次的。“她握着我的右手，展开手指，在面团上练习“捏和拉”。看着面团的圆边在我手里卷起来很有趣。奶奶教我做两个，我坚持做第三个。刚开始的时候，我做得很仔细，很慢。进展不顺利。它几乎准备好了。我的心很高兴。我试着捏它，但馅料被挤到了一边，被拉回来的`脸无法出来，粘在了我的手指上。我有点急，很难捏，不想弄破皮肤，补漏。奶奶看了看说：“别担心，最困难的时候是你想成功的时候。不要把蔬菜汁捧在脸上；湿手贴在表面。”我长长地吸了一口气，擦干手，重新拿起面团，一步一步地成功了。发髻梳着辫子坐在炉篦上。我环顾四周，很像一个顽皮的小娃娃！我喊道：“是的，我捏了一个胖娃娃！”！“大家都笑了。吃完饭，奶奶送来热气腾腾的小笼包，我很高兴。这个包子也让我贡献了力量！”！
今年的冬至又到了，我第一次想到做包子的经历。我想起祖母的一句话：最困难的时候，是我想成功的时候。就在冬至最冷的时候，温暖的日子即将开始。

今天是冬至，妈妈一大早就忙着，正在做面条、肉馅。妈妈昨天说冬天一定要吃饺子。但是为什么要吃饺子呢？我趁妈妈不注意起床，悄悄地来到书房打开电脑，我想找到答案。我在百度搜索“冬至的由来”，突然发现了很多关于冬至的信息。一个个看完才明白，冬至吃饺子是为了纪念“医圣”张仲景。传说张仲景是南阳东人，著有《伤寒杂论》，汇集了历代医家的巨著，被历代医家奉为经典。张仲景有句名言：“进是救世，退是救民；不能当好脸色的.，就当好医生。”东汉时，他担任长沙刺史，看望病人，管理医药。坚决辞职后回到乡镇，为邻居治病。他回家时已是冬天。他看到白河两岸的村民，苍白而瘦弱，饥寒交迫，他们中的许多人耳朵都冻住了。于是，他让弟子们在南阳东关搭了一个药棚和一个大锅，准备“祛寒焦耳汤”，在冬至治冻疮。他把羊肉、辣椒和一些草药放在锅里煮，然后把羊肉、药从肉糜里捞出来，用面包做成耳朵状的“焦儿”，煮熟后，给人们找药吃两个“焦儿“，一大碗肉汤。人们吃“焦耳”，喝“祛寒汤”，身体暖和，双耳发热，冻伤的耳朵都治好了。后人学习了“饺子”的外形，并将其包裹在食物中，也称为“饺子”或“边食”。
冬至吃饺子，就是为了纪念“医圣”张仲景的“祛寒焦耳汤”。南阳还有一首民歌，“冬至不吃饺子碗，没人管。”我故意问妈妈：“妈妈，你知道今天谁在吃饺子吗？”妈妈摇摇头。“我告诉你，这是为了纪念‘医圣’张仲景。我不知道！”我骄傲地说。妈妈也不知道，我心里暗暗地想。从网上我还学到了一首关于冬至的歌曲《九十九首歌》：一九二九不卖；三九四九冰上漫步；五九六九看江边柳树；九条河开八、九只鹅；九十九加十九，到处耕牛。
你知道我们为什么在冬至吃饺子吗？

在这一天，北方和南方的饮食完全不同。南方吃饺子，俗话说“吃饺子一年多”，饺子有圆圆的意思。在北方，人们吃更多的饺子。但在我们北方和南方的家庭中，庆祝冬至是另一回事。
又到冬至了。一大早，我们一家人就早早地起床去超市买饺子和汤圆。到家后，一家人忙得不亦乐乎，有的`包饺子，有的包粽子，叮咚的声音透露着浓浓的爱意。
我妈妈来自南方。汤圆是她冬至的最爱，所以她早上和姐姐一起去做手工汤圆。爸爸是北方人，喜欢吃饺子，喜欢爸爸，喜欢儿子，我也喜欢吃饺子。我拿起鸡蛋，在锅里翻炒，盛出来，然后切好黄瓜、木耳、猪肉、胡萝卜，把它们混合在一起，加入少许盐、糖，再次翻炒，美味的饺子馅就好了。与此同时，爸爸开始做面条。起初，在面粉中加入一点水，并揉成面团，搓成细长的条状，然后切成一小块一小块，爸爸说这叫面粉用量。接下来，有一种擀糕点的技巧。面团涂上面粉，卷成馅饼状，中间略厚，两边略薄。
你有一个完美的糕点。下一步是真正的“饺子”。把面团放在手掌上，中间填满馅料，轻轻捏面团，封住嘴巴，你就有了一个完美的饺子。就这样，一个个饺子包了起来。最后一项任务是煮饺子。我把包好的饺子一边排队放入沸水中，盖上盖子。不到三分钟，热气腾腾的饺子就出锅了！这时，饺子的妈妈用漏勺过滤饺子，然后轻轻地把饺子放进盘子里，淋上一点酱油，也可以随意选择加入辣椒油、四川辣椒油、芥末、韭菜花、大蒜、醋等调味品。这样，一顿丰盛的北方饺子盛宴就正式出炉了！
这个饺子太诱人了，我趁妈妈没注意，偷偷吃了几个。饺子热得我舌头都疼了，但我还是吃了。我满意地笑了笑。爸爸妈妈被我逗乐了，拿起手机冻住了这一刻我吐出舌头，脸上带着胜利的喜悦和痛苦的表情，哭笑不得。
这就是我眼中的冬至，一个寒冷透露着温暖的节日！

俗话说：“1929不手，3949冰行，5969河看柳，七九河开，八九雁，九九加十九，牛遍地。”
关于冬至还有另一个传说：在前几天，人们的耳朵被寒风冻成伤寒。一个男人准备了羊肉和面条，把羊肉塞进面条的皮里，用手把它做成耳朵形状，这就是现在的“饺子”。因此，每个家庭都会在这一天吃饺子。
在一些地区，还有一种习俗，一定要牺牲，祈祷那些贫穷的人会越来越少。
在一些地区，人们也吃云吞，因为当地有一个传说，一个性格不好的人在冬至那天去世，成为“疫神”，人们把它作为“hun”和“tun”的'谐音，所以人们在那天吃云吞。
冬至，是我们中国几千年来流传下来的传统节日，在这一天，我们必须为我们的中国人民感到骄傲。有些人，只有“万圣节”、“圣诞节”等西方节日，我们要庆祝自己的传统节日，因为它流淌着我们历史上人民的鲜血。
冬至，我们的传统节日，作为历史的传承者，一定要把它传承下去！

时光飞逝！冬至将至。一大早，我在做梦的时候，妈妈把我吵醒了。瞌睡了，睁开眼睛一看，父母一大早就忙起来：爸爸在厨房烧水一会儿，切菜一会儿，“吱吱”一会儿，“嘎嘎”一会儿；我妈妈帮我洗蔬菜，剥洋葱皮。我站起来，迅速收拾好卧室，匆匆忙忙地加入他们的行列。房间里充满了笑声。
经过近三个小时的准备，父亲终于做好了这顿饭：美味的牛肉、色香味俱全的红烧茄子和让我垂涎三尺的饺子。我的.眼睛直盯着一张大桌子，迫不及待地想马上吃掉它。妈妈看着我这只贪吃的猫，笑着说：“贪吃鬼，来吃吧。”我挠了挠头，笑着坐在沙发上。我们全家举杯，倒上饮料，异口同声地说：“为我们全家的幸福干杯！”我还没来得及喝饮料，就用筷子抓了一大块肉吞了下去。闻起来很香！这个世界很美味。爸爸的手艺真不高明。一流的厨师！我们一家人围坐在一起，喜气洋洋。
“妈妈，冬至从哪里来？”吃饭时问妈妈。我妈妈告诉我：“冬至，也被称为‘健康分娩’，是中国农历中的一个重要节气，也是中华民族的传统节日。早在2500多年前的春秋时期，中国就用土壤来观测太阳和测量冬至。这是24个节气中最早的一个，在公历12月21日至23日伦达……我和爸爸听着吹牛，妈妈笑着说：“如果你想学很多东西，那很简单，只要多读书就行了。”。”我点点头。
冬至是二十四节气之一，每一个节气都有自己独特的习俗。作为一个中国人，我们应该继承和弘扬中华民族的优秀传统文化。

今天是冬至夜，奶奶买了很多好吃的东西，还让我多吃点。
奶奶告诉我，一年当中有二十四个节气，冬至是最后一个节气，是中国农历中一个非常重要的`节气，过了冬至就算是冬天进入最寒冷阶段了，这一天很特别，是一年中唯一白天最短、黑夜最长的一天。今年的冬至是下雨天，爷爷说：“邋遢冬至干净年。好，好!”
我听了很奇怪，就问奶奶，奶奶说：“这句话的意思是说冬至这天如果下雨过年准是好天气。”“真的吗为什么呢”我又好奇了。奶奶说一直以来就是这样的，我问了好多人他们也没能给我满意的.答案。
我期待着春节快点到!

今天是冬至，有句话叫冬至过年。中国人重视传统节日。在北方，你在冬至吃饺子。不吃饺子会冻耳朵。今天早上七点醒来发现还没天亮，才知道今天是冬至。冬至是一年中最短的一天，最长的一夜。冬至过后，进入最冷阶段，人们开始“数九”。1929年不拍；3949年在冰上行走；五六月，见河边柳；七九条河开，八九只鹅来；99加19，牛到处走。这九首歌生动地描述了天气的变化过程。今年冬至没吃饺子，因为不上班。我的心有些失落。看着别人回家吃热腾腾的饺子，心里酸酸的。假期不在家的人会更想家。我也想念我的父母。不知道他们家有没有饺子。
冬至过后要盼腊八，腊八粥可以喝甜的。腊八过后，是全家欢乐团聚的大年三十。希望在腊八的'时候可以喝妈妈在家做的腊八粥。今年冬至没吃饺子，希望耳朵不要“冻”了。

今天下午回到家里，母亲给我盛了一碗热气腾腾的饺子。我问母亲为何下午吃饺子？母亲说：“由于今天是冬至。”
母亲还告诉我冬至是北半球全年最长的`一天，过了冬至，白天就会一每天变长。
冬至过后，天气都进入一个最寒冷的阶段，也就是大家常说的“进九”，国内民间有“冷在三九，热在三伏”的说法。
这个时候我的饺子吃完了，母亲说：“今年你的耳朵不会冻烂了。”我问母亲为何？母亲说：“由于饺子的形状像耳朵，吃了冬至的饺子不冻人也是大家的一种传闻。”
今天我跟母亲掌握了不少关于冬至的常识，我开心极了。

冬至，是我国农历中最重要的一个气节，也是我们中华民族的一个传统节日。在这一天，太阳直射南回归线，是北半球全年中白天最短，夜晚最长的一天。
在古代民间有冬至大如年的说法，足见人们对冬至的重视。冬至习俗因地域不同而存在习俗内容或细节上的差异。在我国北方地区有吃饺子、喝羊肉汤的习俗。在南方地区则有冬至吃汤圆、祭祖、宴饮的习俗。
明天就是冬至了，妈妈今天特意去超市买来了几包汤圆。我看着一个个圆滚滚白乎乎的汤圆迫不及待地想吃了，妈妈就让我自己煮几个吃。我把水烧开，然后把一个个洁白的`汤圆放进锅里，一个个汤圆像沉睡的小白球静静地躺在锅底。几分钟后，水沸腾了，汤圆又像一个个吹了气的小白球调皮的浮了起来，在水里欢快地翻腾着。妈妈让我把火关小，让小白球继续翻滚两三分钟后，汤圆就软了，熟了。我舀起一个软糯香甜的汤圆放进嘴里，真是美味极了！
吃了汤圆大一岁；冬至不端饺子碗，冻掉耳朵没人管。我想冬至不管是吃什么，都是表达了人们对美好生活的热爱和向往。这样的祈愿无非是在不同的地区有着不同的表现方式罢了，最终的意愿都是希望家人能平安幸福、团圆圆满！

今天是冬至，二十四节气之一。冬至的习俗根据地方不同而不同。在北方，饺子已经成为冬至的代言人了；而赤豆粥，则是冬至的常见食物。据说，吃饺子是为了纪念医生张仲景。张仲景在寒风刺骨的冬天把羊肉等用皮包成耳朵的形状，百姓吃后耳朵不再红肿，不再疼痛，因此便有了冬至吃饺子的习俗；赤豆粥则是为了防瘟疫而制作成的。噍！我们学校的包饺子活动马上就要开始了呢！
“现在，我们就开始包饺子”，宋老师一声令下，包饺子活动终于开始了！我抓起一张饺子皮往里面填了点儿馅，把皮的口一个个用手捏紧，封好。本来我以为这样就可以了，可是我仔细看了看，馅都从皮里露出来了。于是我向阿姨请教：“阿姨，我包饺子包不好。馅老是从饺子皮啦露出来。您能教教我吗？谢谢！”阿姨说：“做这件事不能心急，要慢慢来。”说着，一张饺子在阿姨的'手中变成了一个漂亮的水饺。我试着按照阿姨说的去做，果然，饺子包得越来越好了。
这次包饺子活动，我明白了一个道理：做事不能急，要静下心来，这样才能成功。还有，看似简单的饺子却饱含了浓浓的心意和真诚的祝福。祝大家冬至快乐！冬天不冷！

今天是24节气中的冬至。我听奶奶说冬至这天不吃饺子，会冻烂耳朵冻烂脸，所以今天大家都要吃饺子。
冬至是一个内容丰富的节日。据传，冬至在历史上的周代是新年元旦，曾经是个很热闹的日子。在今天江南一带仍有：吃了冬至夜饭长一岁的说法，俗称“添岁”。妈妈还告诉我：冬至是北半球全年中白天最短、黑夜最长的`一天，过了冬至，白天就会一天天变长。
冬至吃“捏冻耳朵”是冬至河南人吃饺子的俗称。缘何有这种食俗呢？相传南阳医圣张仲景曾在长沙为官，他告老还乡那时适是大雪纷飞的冬天，寒风刺骨。他看见南阳白河两岸的乡亲衣不遮体，有不少人的耳朵被冻烂了，心里非常难过，就叫其弟子在南阳关东搭起医棚，用羊肉、辣椒和一些驱寒药材放置锅里煮熟，捞出来剁碎，用面皮包成像耳朵的样子，再放下锅里煮熟，做成一种叫“驱寒矫耳汤”的药物施舍给百姓吃。服食后，乡亲们的耳朵都治好了。后来，每逢冬至人们便模仿做着吃，是故形成“捏冻耳朵”此种习俗。

我的家乡山西是一座美丽的城市，我们家乡还有很多风俗和有趣的文化。是不是很有兴趣，下面我跟大家讲一讲家乡的冬至吧!冬至，作为二十四节令之一，意味着冬天的到来。
今天是冬至，我们学校放假一天。在我们家乡，冬至这一天是必须吃饺子。饺子寓意繁多，在北方有多种说法，一种是取“饺子”的谐音“骄子”，寓意“天之骄子”，为子孙祈福，祝愿家族兴旺发达;一种是取“饺子”的形如“元宝”，寓意“招财进宝”，盼望来年生意兴隆，五谷丰登;还有很多传说，唯独冬至吃饺子的寓意比较特别，因为北方比较冷，每年都会冻手和耳朵，因为“饺子”的外形像对称的两个耳朵，所以在冬至这一天吃饺子后，在接下来的“三九”寒天里不会冻耳朵。
家乡的冬至，习俗是快乐有趣的。在我国，每个节日基本上都有其特殊的含义，清明是祭祖的.节日，端午是纪念屈原的节日，中秋是与亲人团聚的节日，而冬至则是纪念张仲景的。这些看似平凡的日子，有谁好好地度过呢一年当中，我最喜欢的节日就是冬至节了。

冬至是二十四节气之一，排在第二十二位。这是一年中最短的一天，最长的一夜。也是从这一天正式进入寒冬。在这里，冬至是一年中的大节日，被称为“冬至大如一年”。在这个节气里，很多习俗都流传下来了。
这一天，我们都想吃馄饨冲。在民间，冬至也祭祀祖先，俗称“制冬至”。有人要烧棉袄，把骨灰放入坟墓，俗称“烧寒衣”。祭祀结束后，亲朋好友聚在一起聚餐，俗称“冬至酒”。有的人还要去湖头加泥除草修墓。这个节日会很热闹。
冬至过后，家家户户都要为春节做准备。以前人们要做春年糕，寓意“年糕，年糕，一年比一年高”，象征着新的一年越来越高。当时的春年糕都是手工制作的，用槌子在石臼里往外推，泡好的米加水，磨成糊状，再炒成粉末，最后蒸熟，这时候就变成糕花了。然后把蛋糕花放在石臼里，用粗木头“推臼”。就这样，一锤一锤的推搡下来。最后变成年糕。那美味的年糕和热气腾腾的'年糕让人垂涎欲滴。
这是冬至的传统节气。你们那里有什么风俗？

“冬至”就是人们所说的“小年”，是我国廿四节气之一，俗称“冬节”。在这一天，因为太阳刚好直射在南回归线上，使得北半球的白天最短，黑夜最长。
根据以前的传统，人们在冬至这一天，会画梅花一枝，素墨勾出九九八十一朵花。每天用红笔或黑笔涂染一朵花瓣，花瓣涂尽了，九九八十一朵花出来了，春天也就到了，所以称为“九九消寒图”；也有的是横十画、竖十画，制成一个九九八十一格的方块图表。每天涂抹一格、九尽格满，称为“九九消寒表”，民间还留有九九消寒图民谚：“下点天阴上点晴，左风右雾雪中心。图中点得墨黑黑，门外已是草茵茵。”最文雅的是“九九消寒迎春联”，是每联九字，每字九画，每天在上下联各填一笔，如上联写有“春泉垂春柳春染春美”；下联对以“秋院挂秋柿秋送秋香”，真是绝妙佳联！
今天也是冬至，我吃了甜甜的`汤圆，根据民间的说法，我又长了一岁。我按古人的方法，做了一张“九九消寒表”，等我把“九九消寒表”填完，那时候就会是百花盛开，百鸟争鸣，一幅春天的景象又展现在眼前了。

除了文字版本的九九消寒图，还有用图形表示的九九消寒图。将宣纸等分为九格，每格用笔帽蘸墨印上九个圆圈，每天填充一个圆圈，填充的方法根据天气决定，填充规则通常为：上涂阴下涂晴，左风右雨雪当中。这种图形版本的九九消寒图简单易行，但显然没有文字版本的漂亮。
此外，也有些九九消寒图采用图画的形式，也称作“画九”。在白纸上绘制九枝寒梅，每枝九朵。画九就是从冬至这天起，画一枝素梅，枝上画梅花九朵，每朵梅花九个花瓣，共八十一瓣，代表“数九天”的八十一天，每朵花代表一个“九”，每瓣代表一天，每过一天就用颜色染上一瓣，染完九瓣，就过了一个“九”，九朵染完，就出了“九”，九尽春深，也有不用颜色染而直接在花瓣上用文字和符号注明阴晴雨雪的.。在寒梅图的一侧常常写有“试看图中梅黑黑，自然窗外草青青”。这种图画版的九九消寒图又被称作“雅图”。

今天是冬至，妈妈说要吃饺子，冬至吃饺子是我家乡的风俗，早上吃过饭妈妈和我就去超市买包饺子用的材料。有鸡蛋和韭菜，买完菜回到家妈妈就没闲着，就开始剁馅，然后我就学妈妈以前的样子，开始和面。因为是第一次和面，首先我把一碗面倒到盆里，浇上温开水就开始和起面来，看起来有模有样的，可是完全不像想象的那么简单，不是水少了，面太干了，就是水倒多了，和的面就变稀了，反复了好多次才把面和好，但是和的.面却太多了，恐怕我们一中午都吃不完，这时，妈妈的饺子馅也剁好了，我们就忙活起来，开始包饺子了。
饺子在妈妈的教导下，似像似不像的都包好了，最后终于吃上了，我自己包的饺子。
真是开心的一天呀!
