like the hanbok, although this is more common among the older women In the morning, food is placed on a special table dedicated to their ancestors, and families pay a visit their graves Later, traditional games like yutnori (a game of throwing sticks) and hwa-tu (a card game) are played At night, the whole family goes outdoors under the full moon, and everyone eats and drinks until 20 late The third day is usually spent traveling back home and preparing to return to work or school Like Thanksgiving and Lunar New Year, Chuseok is a time for families to reconnect with past traditions, as well as spend time with each other
