Son In Law's Day - Chinese New Year

The second day of the Chinese New Year Tradition has it say That the son in law visits His mother in law Guest of honour on this day She treats him like a king When time to go back home Gives him two lotus lanterns One red and one white alone Time of the lantern festival At home when with his wife He hangs them at end of bed Lights them with a candle, to be read If the White one burns out first A Boy they will be blessed If the Red one burns out first A girl will grace the nest This tradition is dying out a shame is what I say The son in law has a right to be the guest this day Cos mother in law always says she is right To be second best one day is an internal fight
