“林子犀，过了那么多元宵节，你知道元宵节的由来吗？”妈妈一早就问我。对呀，今天是元宵节，我给忘了。“这……”我低下头，抠着纸，把纸抠破了也没想出来。“其实，古人把‘夜’称为‘宵’，新年第一个月圆之夜是一元复始，大地回春的夜晚。很久之前，元宵节是重要的祭祀日子。汉魏之后元宵才是民间节日。”妈妈解释说。

元宵节当晚，我们开展了“灯谜大会”。比赛由我、妈妈、爸爸相互各出五题。前两轮，妈妈得三分，爸爸得四分。

“三水压倒山？”“当”。我猜对4题了，再猜对一题就可赢得比赛了。“值钱不值钱，全在这两点？”爸爸问出最后一题后，我竟然答不上来。“什么是两点？”“值钱又是啥？”我不停地嘟囔着……

我心乱如麻，一时间呆住了。这时，妈妈让我扔垃圾，我慢慢下楼，边走边琢磨，这题太难了，我完全不会。我慢慢吞吞地走到桶前，满脑子都是谜题，竟然把可回收垃圾扔到了其它垃圾桶内。我猛然抬头，看见熟悉的标语：“金山银山不如绿水青山。”“金山银山……”“金山？”“银山？”“是金！”
Right! "Gold " and differ only completely at 2 o'clock, the answer is " gold " . I run back to the home rapidly, to father happy to dance, panting to say: "Be... gold... the gold of gold, i... gold, right... right? " father is laughing to say: "Fasten urgent, was opposite! Was opposite!!
对呀！“金”和全只差两点，答案是“金”。我飞快地跑回家，对爸爸手舞足蹈，喘着粗气说：“是……金……金子的金，我……金，对……对吗？”爸爸笑着说：“别急，对了！”

晚上，我们按照山东的习俗，和妈妈一起做起了花灯——胡萝卜灯。先把胡萝卜切成五六厘米高的小块，用小勺子在胡萝卜块中间挖出一个深坑，花灯灯座就做好了，然后再找出一根火柴，火柴的一头用棉花缠上，另一头插在做好的灯座中间（当作灯芯），最后用蜡油浇在灯芯上，一个漂亮的花灯就做好了。我们一共做了6盏花灯。之后我们把6盏胡萝卜等都点上，分别放在门口、阳台和客厅，祈福平安、健康！别提多好玩了。
