What’s better than one New Year? Two New Year celebrations! Filipinos also love to celebrate the Chinese New Year. With a significant Filipino-Chinese population, this is a holiday to look forward to. And of course, we have to be prepared!
Here are some Chinese beliefs to practice before the Lunar New Year. 🐲
Clean every corner of your home 🧹🧼
Cleaning the house before the Lunar New Year is believed to bring a fresh start by sweeping away the bad luck from the past year. Take the time to clean every spot from top to bottom and scrub every nook and cranny to invite positivity and new blessings.

Settle your debts 💳
In Chinese tradition, starting the new year debt-free is seen as a way to invite prosperity and good fortune. To set the tone for a financially abundant year, strive to settle your bills and debts before the new year begins. A fresh financial start symbolizes new opportunities and blessings ahead.
Decorate your home 🏮
To create a welcoming vibe for the Lunar New Year, incorporate red and gold decorations to symbolize luck and prosperity. Add lucky plants like bamboo for growth and good fortune. Additionally, use symbols of wealth such as gold coins to invite abundance and happiness into your home!
Shop for new clothes 🛍️
New clothes symbolize a clean slate and a fresh start. Stocking up on red-colored clothes is an auspicious choice for Chinese New Year, as red represents prosperity, luck, and good fortune. Wearing red is also said to ward off negative energy and invite positivity.
Prepare food ahead of time 🥟
A staple for many Chinese New Year celebrations is dumplings. However, making them from scratch can be time-consuming, and preparing them on the same day may take away from the festivities. It’s a good idea to make them ahead of time and steam them on the day itself. This Oster Food Steamer is perfect for cooking dumplings and steamed fish!
