CNY 2nd day.
Today, the celebration continues.
People visit their distance relatives,
Their grand parents, aunties, uncles and cousins,
The CNY visiting's routine become formal and practical,
The meals is also less glamorous
There will be lobster, oysters and prawns.
The rotating hexagon box,
Full of sweets and candies are still on.
Chinese people believe,
What happens in the first three days in CNY,
Will repeat

To receive good luck for the

Chinese New Year 2022
Chinese New Year 2022 *
Oh no! again they've cancelled the Lion Dance
And the Dragons are also put on hold
How I longed to see them gyrate and prance
But the covid virus is still uncontrolled.
The sound of the drums, the cymbals and gongs
So intense and loud we jump with glee
Brilliant red lanterns and cheering throngs -
Their absence

We ashering in Chinese New Year
Which carries a special meaning nowadays

For a complete rehabilitation,

For a hearty reunion once a year
To plan

For prosperity and happiness
To pray

Beauty now flings
Blessings of spring.
Beauty makes room
For spring time blooms.
Beauty now sings
As joy greets spring.

Love and the Chinese New Year
Dragon was hatched in the year of the Dragon, on the Chinese Zodiac.
But, then so was I. Yep folks, that makes me so very, amazingly wise.
Because I was born in the year of the Dragon, a Dragon egg I did get!
Now, for the Chinese New Year, we were invited to participate, you bet!

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

The Chinese New Year
Are you ready for a brand new year
The spring festival coming
So let’s all cheer
The lunar calendar starts again
It’s time to clean the cobwebs my friend
Gifts of red envelope’s everywhere
This is the Chinese New Year
The year of the sheep
The ram, the goat
Bring your fire crackers to make the most
Don’t forget those tangerines
They symbolize good luck and
