How long should we display the lucky charms in our homes? After Chinese New Year can we take it off or do we display it for the rest of the year?

@Sharon

Thanks. I hear that the celebration in San Fran is quite good. The NYC one is usually quite festive. There is one in almost every borough.

This was great! It is raining here in SF so it looks like another wet parade this year…but who cares! Bring on the dim sum, firecrackers and Tsingtao Beer.

The luck is connected to the New Year, but they’re tasty all-year long!

I always buy pommelos whenever I see them, now that I know they bring good luck, I’ll stock up! Or is that only during New Year celebrations?

@Kelly

I think it’s important to notice all cultures. Chinese culture is fascinating

Thanks for sharing about the pulling of raw fish strips!

I think Chinese appreciate it very much when a non-Chinese notices all that you have! Another thing that Chinese consider good luck is the PULLING of Raw Fish strips (during Reunion Dinner which is ene of CNY) – the higher it’s pulled (vertically) from the table, the better. It’s symbolic to “mountainous loads of prosperity”!

@Trey

It’s definately nice to start off a new year fresh. We all have things we’d do differently. This is the time to push the past away and start anew.

I think that there’s a lot we can learn from Chinese culture. I know a lot of people who hate the chinese, simply because they are a prosporous society. This annoys me, because if they are more prosporous than us, then that means that they are doing something right.

I REALLY like the idea of cleansing the house and body at the beginning of the year. It’s like setting the tone for the rest of the year. It’s human nature to judge something based on how it begins and ends. If you start off a year properly, then you are setting off on the right foot.
