在我们山东老家，年味儿可浓了。春节的气息差不多从小年就开始了，家家户户贴窗花，挂灯笼，好不热闹。在这个时候，亲戚们也都三三两两地来串门，大人们都忙着待客，而我们几个小孩子，则三三两两地凑到一起。放鞭炮倒是不敢，但聚着下棋是有的。

腊月二十三的晚上，爷爷奶奶还保留着这一传统习俗——祭灶，据说是要粘住灶王的嘴，不让他去天上说家里的坏事。当然，我对这个印象不太深，只是记得每到这个时候都有灶糖吃，灶糖很甜，还有些粘牙，这样也符合那个传说了。

到了除夕，大家都起得很早，爷爷去买了很多年货，爸爸妈妈和奶奶开始分工准备包饺子。先是把韭菜、猪肉等剁成馅儿，倒进一个大盆里，这个时候就该轮到我上场了，爸爸拿给我一双筷子，我就努力把馅儿搅拌均匀。中午就开始煮饺子。第一盘饺子出锅了，要先放在灶台上，说是祭祖，其它饺子才是让我们吃的。这里还有一个习俗，吃饺子的时候，不能吃最中间的那一个，要一直不断地往盘子里添，寓意年年有余。这天晚上，不只是看春晚，离得近的几家打着灯笼走门串户必不可少。

过了初三，年味儿渐渐淡了，毕竟从北京来的，过完年又要赶回去。就这样，我在依依不舍中过完了年，离开了我的老家——山东。(文/宋济西)
