Just after midnight, we open the front door and back door at same time to let the old year out and the new year in.

Also make sure that hubby ( as he is the darker haired of the two of us) is the first person in the new year to walk in through the front door to 'first foot'. We used to have an ornament made from coal that he would carry, as the person to 'first foot" should bring coal.

And never do any washing on new years day. No idea why, we just dont.

Any other traditions that people do to see in the new year?

Things to Avoid

1. Cleaning: Don't sweep or take out the trash as it sweeps away good luck.

2. Washing: Avoid washing hair or clothes (especially days 1-2) to respect the Water God and keep luck in.

3. Sharp Objects: Steer clear of knives, scissors, and needles to prevent cutting off fortune or relationships.

4. Clothing: Don't wear black or white (mourning colors); opt for red and bright colors.

5. Speech: Avoid negative words (death, poor, sick) and cursing to maintain positivity.

6. Crying/Anger: Prevent crying and arguments, as they set a negative tone for the year.

7. Napping: Avoid napping on New Year's Day, as it can signify laziness.

Borrowing/Lending: Don't borrow money or collect debt; clear your slate first.

8. Gifts: Avoid clocks (sounds like attending a funeral) and giving odd amounts of money in red envelopes.

9. Breaking Things: Don't break plates or glasses; it symbolizes broken fortune or family.

Foods to Avoid

1. Porridge (Congee): Associated with poverty; only the wealthy could afford rice.

2. Meat (on day 1): Some avoid meat on the first day to show respect.

3. Squash/Squid/Crab: Some Cantonese avoid these due to words sounding like "death," "getting fired," or "sighing".

What to Do Instead

4. Clean thoroughly before the New Year.

5. Stay Up Late on New Year's Eve for parents' longevity.

6. Give red envelopes with even amounts of money.

7. Wear red and bright colors.

Say positive words and wish others well.

Nice.

As for me, New Year means getting a new boyfriend or playmate for my partner and myself.

Old Years Night has always been a reflection on the closing year , a time to reflect and make peace with the losses and give thanks for who and what remains good in my life, with the hope that it continues to be so and the coming year will be kind to all I care about.
