Majority of the Chinese families still keep themselves busy with house visits on the first day of Chinese New Year but some have opted to gather at one house for convenience sake.
No sweeping or cleaning should be done at home as it is equaivalent to blessings and luck being swept away.
Chinese New Year (CNY) is also commonly referred to as Lunar New Year. In Mandarin, it is referred as 过年 Guo Nian which translates loosely as 'to pass the year' or 春节 Spring Festival.
While there's 12 days of Christmas, there are 15 days of Chinese New Year, though only the 1st 2 days are widely celebrated and acknowledged as public holidays.
新年快乐, 恭喜发财! Wishing all of you a very Happy Chinese New Year, may all good things come your way this horse year.
While we embrace the New Year, there's no doubt a fair bit of preparations to be done prior to the festival such as spring cleaning, CNY goodies shopping, CNY outfit shopping just to name a few.
