The New Year’s celebration encompasses many activities including enjoying a delicious dinner together at home. On New Year’s Eve, many parents will hand red envelopes with some money inside to their children as a New Year gift. Also during this time many people start visiting their relatives to wish them a Happy New Year as well.
