and welcome the New Year.

dinner with all family members reuniting.
• Giving Red Envelopes (Lucky Money) to Kids- Parents usually give
their children red envelopes after the reunion dinner, wishing them
health, growth, and good studies in the coming year. Red envelopes
always have money in. Money in red envelopes is believed to bring good
luck, as red is China's lucky color, so it's called lucky money.

Chinese New Year's Day

launchers, and chains of firecrackers make machine-gun-like noises.
Families stay up for this joyful moment.
• Offering Sacrifices to Ancestors- Offering sacrifices to ancestors
shows respect, piety, and missing departed relatives on such a special
festival.
