I have made some Radish Cakes, Taro Cakes and rice cakes. We won't cook during the first 10 days of the new year. According to our customs, the Kitchen God will take a vacation and report to the Heaven Emperor how good each household has been. The stove (fire) is not watched/protected while He is away. Therefore we are supposed to cook. The above prepared dishes are what we will eat.

I have also finished some shopping. We wear new underwears, new pjs and slippers on CNY's eve. I have also finished cleaning up and donating some clothing and shoes. We don't sweep/clean for the first 10 days.

I have bathed Nickel and given him a groom. Humans got haircuts too. I have also prepared red pockets for our nephews and nieces. Ah, I need to set up alarms to call our seniors in the different parts of the world.

That's about it. This is the simplified version of our celebration here :smile:

The tradition tradition is 14 days. Some families shorten to 10 and some go with 7 days. It applies to no sweeping, no cooking, no taking out trash, no shampooing etc. I have never been able to follow the no washing my hair and the trash thing. Actually my mom never followed that so it never was followed in my home. I only skip the first day of the new year and that's it.

The Year of Monkey wasn't good to me but I am hopeful that things will get better.

I am adopting CNY customs and not sweeping until February 8th. Because, hey why not? I like it when other cultures/customs work to my advantage :lol:
I have a hair consult this week but I'm not going to cut it until late February. I need all the luck I can get.
Any Roosters here?

I am a sheep. But I am not just your regular everyday sheep. I am a FIRE sheep. I was hoping to be a cute fluffy sheep with a great coat but no, I'm all RAWR!
Unfortch this year of the Rooster will be even less kind to me than last year - if that's even possible. *sigh*

Crazy right
I would say that I am more Virgo than Libra
Of course people will debate that
So I tell people I am a Virgo on the even days of the month and Libra on the odd days
People walk away bewildered [emoji15]
Lol

I have a very good friend with the same birthdate. She is a 50/50 mix of both signs. (If you believe all that stuff)
