New Year tradition: “The more dumplings you eat, the richer of a new year you’ll have.” (Dumplings are said to be shaped like old Chinese currency, so eating them is like stuffing yourself with warm, savory mouthfuls of wealth.)
My tradition: “The more friends you bring, the more dumplings you’re allowed to buy.”
Happy Chinese New Year!
