Kung Hei Fat Choi everyone!
My family and I practiced some of the Chinese New Year traditions in our own home. Some of the traditions we followed: clean the house, have a hair cut, buy fruits and ang pao (red money envelopes) all before the eve of Chinese New Year. But since we’re only three and I’m not allowed to do heavy household work, we decided to usher the year of the Water Dragon at my parents-in-law’s house instead.
Fruits for good luck.
Kiat kiat
While on New Year’s Eve we celebrated with our family over dinner and welcomed Chinese New Year with a bang- videoke!
ah the irony
Fruits, piggy bank full of coins, sweets, a container of rice, tikoy and incense.
