| Happy New Year. It's Chinese traditions that grand fireworks displays occur in each corner of the city and countryside. Chinese believe the bombarding firworks will sweep off the bad luck in the old year and bring the 'fire' i.e., prosper, wealth and good luck in the new year.

| Long time ago in Malaysia, every Chinese New Year, they burnt firecrackers all night long. The next day you could see the red papers along the streets from the burnt firecrackers. Now, burning firecrackers is no longer allowed, some old folks think that celebrating the eve of CNY not as merry as before. Displaying fireworks is nice but expensive, not all people can afford. 2. Happy New Year to everyone. Wan |

| I miss my childhood very much. When I was young, I fired fireworks during the Spring Festival with my friends. We also dropped at each other’s home with a lantern in our hands at night. Most importantly, my parents bought me new clothes but I just wore my clothes on the first day of Chinese New Year. However, there are fewer and fewer kids in my village and they seldom fired fireworks. When I come back home during the Spring Festival, I can’t feel the atmosphere of celebrating New Year. You see, Christmas has become more popular than Spring Festival now. |

| Jimmy, I also missed carrying tanglong in the evening, with the burning candles. Sometimes visiting frieds and relatives and they gave us some cookies. As we have many types religious celebrations, from Deepavali, Thaipusam, Vesak, Eid, Christmas, and even Chinese New Year, it seems we have celebrations for almost the whole year. Here CNY is merrier than Christmas. Wan |

| Most Chinese are not Christian. Some young people celebrate it just for holiday fun. Fireworks used to be banned in Spring Festival a couple years ago due to safty issue but this is not acceptable in general public with a sense that the one of the core traditions and statutary holidays is disappering. Therefore, Firecrakers and Fireworks were resumed again. It's custom in my homecity that they generously do spendings on Fireworks and Firecrackers during Spring Festival, especially Lunar Calendar new year's eve for wiping off bad things in the old year and Day Five of Spring Holidays for welcoming the God of Wealth. It's very exciting and shaking that you hear the bombing and see the light of fire occuring in the whole city. |

| I is too boring if there is no firecrackers during the Spring Festival. Safety is priority but Chinese old traditions are also very important. |

| A very sad comment, Lion, but perhaps it is true... As years go by I miss more and more old traditions here in Finland, but seems like people have forgotten them... Good old times... Carlos |
