The Chinese New Year is a time for family reunions. Families enjoy symbolic dishes like fish (abundance) and dumplings (wealth) and decorate homes with red lanterns for luck. Fireworks drive away bad spirits, while elders give "Lai See" (red envelopes with pocket money) to younger members, accompanied by blessings like "Gong Hei Fat Choy." Traditional snacks such as "nian gao", prawns, symbolize progress, happiness, and prosperity, adding joy to the celebrations and hope for the new year
