There are many customs and traditions when it comes to Chinese New Year which I will share with you now. You should:
- Wear red and gold to symbol good luck and wealth.
- There is no use of knives or cutting, something about it cutting your luck. So all the food is made the day before and it's dim sum, tiny yummy treats. I love me some finger food.
- There's also something about not washing your hair. Which I won't adhere to becasue I'm a wash my hair every day kind of girl, and besides, I'm only half Chinese.
- Children (especially the unmarried ones) are given little red envelopes with money. Pay up mom!
- It is bad luck to cry on new years, therefore, be naughty and your parent's can't yell at you.
- However, it is bad luck to be naughty anyway, so this one isn't a win for any one.
- You should at least wash your feet the night before that way you walk into the new year with clean soles. New shoes are even better.
This is a flawless plan. Flawless.
