NEW YEARS DAY ( January 23, 2012 )
The events that occur on New Years Day may have an impact on the rest of the year so be careful with your words, your deeds, what you eat and whom you greet:
- Don't wash your hair or you will wash away any good luck for the new year
- Wear brand new clothes
- Wear the color red for joy and happiness.
- Don't wear white or black as they are colors of mourning.
- Greet your relatives, neighbors, and friends and wish them well.
- Don't greet people in mourning.
- Give red envelopes with lucky money to children and unmarried people.
- Don't sweep the floor or clean or you may sweep away your luck.
- Don't say the number "four" (which sounds like the Chinese word for death)
- Don't mention death or tell ghost stories.
- Don't cook.
- Don't use knives or scissors or you may cut off fortune.
- Don't lend money or you will be lending all year.
- Don't borrow money.
Happy Chinese New Year Everyone!!!

TET 1967. Keep a round in the chamber, stay close to cover.
Guess that Chinese New Year means something different to some.
