The Fourteenth Day of the Chinese New Year

The following is the answer provided by Answers.com to the question "What do Chinese people do on the fourteenth day of the Chinese New Year?"
"In China they will have great festivals on the street (like a parade) which they will do dragon dances. Each family will usually give red pocket money to their children because it is said to bring good luck. Families will also have great feasts on the New Years."


 

Because I had class today, I didn't go out to check if there were dragon dances on the street. I didn't give red envelopes and my family didn't have a big feast since these were already done on the Chinese New Year's Eve.

The evening news showed a temple gave out lanterns to those who donated invoice(s). Everyone is looking forward to the coming of tomorrow, when children are walking the street with a lighted lantern and families are savoring tangyuan, or rice dumplings, together.
