Episode 24: Chinese New Year Traditions and New Year’s Resolutions!
Hello there thrill seekers and good day to ya! Welcome back to Two Pills in a Pod, we are at Season 3 eyyyyyy!
We are starting Season 3 by giving a giant nod to one of the biggest holidays in the Chinese culture, Chinese New Year! As most of y’all know, next week is Chinese New Year. As we welcome the year of Tiger, we want to talk a little bit about the history of Chinese New Year, our favourite part of the day, the traditions surrounding Chinese New Year, and some superstitions surrounding the holidays! Are we Chinese if we’re not at least a little bit superstitious?!
You’ll hear us talk about ‘ang bao’ throughout the first half of the episode. ‘Ang bao’ is the Hokkien word for ‘Hong Bao (紅包)’ which directly translates to red envelope. It is a monetary gift typically given by the married to the unmarried, most of whom are children.
The second part of the episode, we discuss the New Year’s Resolutions that we aim to keep throughout the year. Here’s hoping that we actually stick to it!
