When I was a child, Winter Solstice Festival aka Dong Zhi 冬至 had always been a fun festival that I so looking forward. I helped my mom rolled Tang Yuan the night before Dong Zhi so she could cook it early in the morning for prayer. And, we all had Tang Yuan for breakfast the next morning. Love the old times when we (whole family) sit around together, make Tang Yuan and chit chat through the night. It's been a great experience and when I was little, I loved playing with the dough. Now that I am a mother, I still love playing with dough, more advance with food art. ;)
