2025 ushers in the Year of the Snake, a time celebrated for its association with intelligence, intuition, and transformation.

Red Envelopes: Beyond Monetary Gifts
Bright red envelopes aren’t just about the money; they’re symbols of goodwill and fortune. People embrace the tradition of gifting these envelopes to children, family members, and employees sending heartfelt wishes and luck for the year ahead.
The Curious Ban on Cleaning
Ever heard of non-cleaning during a festival? Chinese New Year encourages a ‘no cleaning’ policy during the celebration. The belief is that cleaning might sweep away good luck and prosperity. It’s a time to refrain from washing, cutting hair, or any activity that might symbolise washing away fortunes!
