If you are traditional for the new year or want to start the new year off strong, here's some reminders of Chinese folklore...
If you haven't already done so by New Year's Eve, clean up your house to do away with all misfortune of the previous year. "Good Fortune favours a clean house" . Also, pay off your debts to be cleared of shame and misfortune.
On Monday, New Years Day, be sure to wear new clothes ("Good clothes opens new doors), Choose Red (for joy and luck) than Black (unlucky), No foul language or unlucky words, and no sharp objects (to not "cut the thread of good fortune") .
Happy New Year!
