Tomorrow is Chinese New Year’s Day. It is also known as Spring Festival in modern China. A wide range of celebrations are held in different part of the world, where there are Chinese communities.
Boxes to tick for the CNY traditions:
□ A reunion dinner named as “Nian Ye Fan”, is held on New Year’s Eve during which family members gather for celebration. Time to taste the yummy dumplings!
□ Red packets traditionally are passed out from married couples or the elderly to unmarried juniors or children. Don’t be shy to ask for it!
□ Fireworks and firecrackers. All festivals need some vibes by lighting up the night.
□ Home decoration. Be it flowers, lanterns or other ornaments, make your home colourful and good fortune will come in the new year.
CCL wish you a happy Chinese New Year no matter where you are!
Today is Shrove Tuesday – in Christian tradition this is the start of Lent, where people begin a “fast” and give up some food for the next 40 days, in preparation for Easter. In some countries this means they will have a carnival, but here in Britain it means “Pancake Day” when we all eat pancakes.
British pancakes are large and thin – similar to what Americans would call “crepes” – and we like to serve them with butter, lemon juice and sugar. Why not try one today?
