Chinese New Year!

Chinese New Year(CNY) is about to come to an end, and the lazy pig in me chooses now to write how my CNY went.

For any of you guys out there who are not familiar with CNY which is a festival celebrated by Chinses where we welcome the new year based on the Chinses calendar and along with the year's presiding animal zodiac. There are 12 zodiac animals and the year 2017 is the year of the rooster. The day before the start of the new year, also know as Chinese New Year's eve. It is a tradition that we have to gather around with all of our family and relatives and have a meal together, which is commonly known as the reunion dinner. This gives the opportunity for all to sit down together and have a meal together and be happy with each other's company, this can be the same as how some of you guys have Thanksgiving Dinner.

As we welcome the first day of the new year the younger generation will have to say prosperous phrases to their elders, basically showering them with words of blessings. In return, they will give you a red packet with money and return similar words of blessings back to you. For the younger generation especially the children love this occasion where we get to receive money, whilst the married adults have to give out money to us youngsters.

To me, CNY gives me the opportunity to meet my relatives where we could not have the chance to see each other in the rest of the year due to our busy schedules and commitments.

 We are given one or two days of holidays to do our visitations and celebrating this joyous occasion. What's more, we get to wear new clothing and eat lotsa food!!! A season to get fat in my opinion, as there will be galore of food and treats in every house you go!

I had a rather pleasant CNY and I hope all my Chinese peeps out there enjoy their CNY as well. Before the CNY ends hurry and enjoy this season of prosperity as we welcome the new year.
