New Year's morning is when I wake up early to greet everyone with good words. I wish everyone good health, happiness and wealth. Mischievous children are not scolded on New Year's day. Everyone gets dressed in their new clothes. Many will wear red for good luck.
Children collect their red envelopes, the ly cee, from the adults.
For the rest of the month, adults will give red envelopes to the children of friends they bump into. Our New Year's breakfast is all vegetarian and we will also eat the pie. After that we make visits to relatives' homes and give them gifts of pie or shrimp or red envelopes. In the afternoon we go home so that we won't miss anyone who may stop by. My mother goes to temple every New Year's without me.
