Other customs that follow this holiday are lighting of lanterns and barbeques. The lanterns symbolize unity and also date back to the Mongols, but after many interviews I have yet to find out. The bright colors of the lantern bring jubilance into the homes of each family and also give Children an excuse to stay up all night. These lanterns can come in all shapes and sizes and are usually made with paper. Lighted lanterns are also hung conspicuously in front of homes. After prayers, there is feasting and merry-making with children carry lighted lanterns around the neighborhood. Today due to safety concerns most lanterns are electric.
Barbeques are a time for people to get together and have fun. Traditionally in China everyone from the town would come together and enjoy a barbeque together. During this time it is considered a time to reminisce and enjoy the food.

Another custom that follows (you may want to use a different word here.) this holiday is the lighting of lanterns and barbeques. The lanterns symbolize unity and also date back to the Mongols, but after many interviews I have yet to find out (find out what?). The bright colors of the lantern bring jubilance into the homes of each family and also give children an excuse to stay up all night (this sentence could be separated and explained more). These lanterns can come in all shapes and sizes and are usually made with paper. Lighted lanterns are also hung conspicuously (conspicuous has a slightly negative connotation, which I don't think you intended) in front of homes. After prayers, there is feasting and merry-making with children carrying lighted lanterns around the neighborhood. Today due to safety concerns most lanterns are electric.
Barbeques are a time for people to get together and have fun. Traditionally in China, everyone from the town would come together and enjoy a barbeque together. During this time people gather to reminisce and enjoy the food.

Other customs that are related to this holiday (WHAT HOLIDAY? MENTIONING IT WOULD STRENGTHEN YOUR LEAD IN.) are lighting lanterns and attending barbecues. The lanterns date back to the Mongols and symbolize unity, but after many interviews I have yet to find out (FIND OUT WHAT—I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS STATEMENT.). The bright colors of the lantern bring happiness into the home of each family and also give children an excuse to stay up all night. These lanterns can come in all shapes and sizes and are usually made with paper. Lighted lanterns are usually hung conspicuously in front of homes. After prayers, there is feasting and merry-making with children carrying lighted lanterns around the neighborhood. Because of safety concerns, most lanterns today are electric.
Barbecues provide an opportunity for people to get together and have fun. Traditionally in China everyone from the town would come to enjoy the barbecue together. During the barbecue is a good time to reminisce and enjoy the food.
