It's 2016! A few days before the New Year, we do a complete cleaning of the house and house wares which signifies to remove the old and welcome the new. After the cleaning, we decorate the house to welcome the New Year. Most of the decorations are red in color and rounded.
Ever since I was a child up to the time I got married and had a kid things never change so much for me to always felt excited celebrating New Year's eve with my family and pets gathered at home for a special dinner. Right after 12:00 midnight on New Year's Eve, fireworks will be launched to celebrate the coming of the New Year as well as to drive away the evil. It is believed that the person who launched the first firework of the New Year will obtain good luck. as they said those throw away bad luck. Many traditional things are always observe during the festive eve.
I really do follow wearing of color red and polka dots from my parents tradition which are meant for prosperity and good health, loud music for lively dancing from my Tony, and strange sound of neighbors fireworks outside which is always interesting to look at.

When it's time to light candle on our altar, we close our eyes, say a warm hello to the year 2016 and say our prayers silently giving Thanks to God for everything that he has given us, ask for forgiveness for all our mistakes and at last, wishing for an even better, greater, prosperous, blissful, healthy, bright, delightful, energetic and extremely happy days for my family and friends all the days of our lives.
New year is the best time to make new year's resolution, a fresh new beginnings as we begin a new chapter of our life to fill up the pages with beautiful dreams and visions. When the New Year arrives, it brings us new ideas and hopes for us to make our lives good to better and better to best. Along with all the new hopes and promises that the New Year would bring to us may it also brings us a lot more opportunities to work together.
