RE: Chinese New Year 2019 | Day 1 & 2
Thank you so much for sharing that. It reminds my of the Scottish tradition of first-footing. On the first day of the year, from just after the clock strikes, folk go from home to home, in a crowd to wish their friends and families well for the new year. Traditionally, they brought with them something to eat (never be hungry), coal so they'd always have a fire on which to cook and for warmth and lasly a coin for prosperity. My Dad always took a bottle of whisky to share. LOL. So good to hear your traditions. Thanks @zord189 and all the best for your new adventure.
Ohh that sounds like a almost similar tradition to Chinese New Year. Here, the houses would usually cook up a feast for all the guests who comes to visit and we call it 'open house'. Some families may choose not to open house because it can get very tiring so they can just go out and visit their friends. Here, we exchange oranges with one another. The oranges represents gold.
