My favorite holiday in Korea is Chuseok, the Korean Thanksgiving Day. Some Korean people also call this holiday as the Full Moon Festival or the Harvest Moon Day. The reason why they call this holiday like that is a rise of a full moon. On the evening of Chuseok, we can see the bright full moon, which is so attractive and beautiful. We have more than three days for Chuseok, so many people in Korea plan to do something memorable. In my case, many kinds of special foods on Chuseok are the most 
joyful part of Chuseok. During the days, all family members and relatives gather and make some traditional foods together. We also visit our grandparents and great-grandparents that live in countryside, and it is a meaningful experience especially for our children who are already accustomed to their urban lives. Chuseok is one of holidays in Korea, but I think that this holiday has a lot of functions in our lives.
