5 Things I Like about Chinese New Year

1. Reunion Dinner - Everyone in the family (including those not living at home - if possible) comes home for a delicious family meal of jumbo shrimp, fish, chicken, "yong dao fu" (my mom's specialty), and many other dishes (usually somebody's favorite) my mom chooses to cook that day.

2. "Bai Nian" - Getting to visit with friends and munch special Chinese New Year tidbits all day long.

3. Angpows - The red packets that contain money.

4. All the superstitions associated with the festive season (don't have to believe in them, but they are so unique to Chinese New Year).

5. The Chinese New Year songs. You can own them on CDs, or listen to them on the radio, and at almost every mall.
