    If you don’t know this, the way she is dressed and how her hair is styled looks similar to the Chinese moon goddess: Chang’e.

    to the same moon in the sky

    I have been celebrating Moon Day since I was a little girl. As a child, my mother would take us to Fong;s Bakery to get the boxes of mooncakes to prepare our visitation days to our relatives. We would deliver and have tea with them. We would honor our elders.
