New Year's Tradition

I got this tag from Juliana and Hazel.


Here goes:

What are some of your new year’s good luck traditions?


Rules :Copy the person and persons’ names that sent it to you and add your own at the bottom of the list. It really helps to build community.


Lets start it here!


*My mom used to collect some coins and when the new year comes she put the coins in a bowl and shake it to create sounds. She said its good luck for money throughout the year. And also wearing dotted dresses on new year don’t know why. CC/chalyza/keep


*My old folks always told us to avoid spending money on new years day. They said, once you spend on the first day of the year, you like to spend the rest of the year.Behind d Scenes of ME/ Retchel’s Pure Life/ /A little bit of me


*I grew up believing that if you have some money on your pocket (whatever you’re wearing) come New Year’s eve it will ensure steady flow of income throughout the year. The other belief is that the main door of the house should be wide open come New Year’s eve so that good luck will be ushered in. Juliana of MY WORLD and JULIANA’S LAIR.


*I don't have any traditionals during New Year. Juliana RW

*I have keep a RM50 note which the serial number is begin with number 8 and end up with number 8 also, between the number, it’s not encourage to have number 4 and number 0. By doing this we will have steady income throughout the whole life. It’s not easy to find such note. Another ways is to keep your “Ang Pao” in your pocket or put it inside your pillow on the New Year eve before you sleep. Hazel


*There are many beliefs but I don’t really follow. To me, to gain good luck, we must radiate positive thoughts and be happy always. (The law of attraction) JO-N

Hi Jo-N!

I changed to my own domain because it offers more job opps. Since the google page rank update I haven't been getting many and with my own domain I will be eligible for more.

Tammy,

Thanks for the info and all the best to you.

Sandy,

I wonder why Chinese are so superstitious.

LB,

I thought it is better without traditions?

Ling,

You are welcome.
