Your to-do list

- Offer (symbolic) sacrifices to ancestors (e.g., fruit, incense, etc.)
- On Chinese New Year's Eve (Feb 11) Organize a reunion dinner with close family
- Buy and wear new clothes. It’s time for renewal so “out with the old, in with the new.”
- Extend New Year greetings to one and all. Learn how to say Kung Hey, Fat Choy!
- Be generous with gifts and have plenty of “Red Packets” to give out
- Catch Lion and Dragon Dances. The noise is tremendous. It may scare away evil spirts.

- Lantern Festival is on Day 15 (Feb 26) spirits Try some Tang Yuan, a delicious sticky rice ball.
- Red is THE lucky color, so display it prominently. Wear red if you can.
