But he once told me that as long as he can eat my mom's homemade mooncakes, He can feel like he is_______with us.

Zhang:

Eating mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival drives me_______! I really don't like the taste of moon cakes, but mom forces(强迫) me to eat them every year. But as I eat more mooncakes, I start to_______ the holiday! This holiday should be held to celebrate some special person or event not a food. I don't want this tasteless food to damage my holiday anymore.

Chen:

In my opinion, eating traditional food during holidays is part of our _______. I remember one time during_______ , my parents were too busy to bring home any sweet dumplings, although I still lit up our rabbit later that night.

In the past, people would usually save_______food for special days. But now we can eat it whenever we want. I don't think it is important to eat traditional food during holidays anymore.
