The Mid-Autumn Festival takes place Monday, September 12 here in North America. Check out the fun selection of different fillings, brands, and packaging at your local Asian supermarket!
Our decorative metal box here has a drawing of Chang'e, the Goddess of the Moon. Our background info about the Mid-Autumn Festival, explaining why Chang'e is so important, is at http://www.weninchina.com/People/Mid_Autumn_Festival.html.
Meanwhile, back in China, Beijing authorities have imposed a Mooncake Tax for when employers give their staff or clients any of these tasty pastries - that the recipient has to pay! They're calling it "unearned income"...
