I found this tradition for China in December. Besides making rice balls or eating dumplings, what is another main idea I can communicate to my kids about this festival? How does the ‘shoes for Seniors’ activity work? What are some ways preschool age 4 or 5 kids can participate in Dongzhi festivities?

Is there a certain greeting associated with the Dongzhi Festival? How can I wish a Chinese friend a happy Dongzhi Festival in Chinese?
