New Year Look & How to Attract Luck!






Opening the front door and windows before the New Year.



This comes with a belief to let the New Year in and the hopes, and prosperity that comes with it.




Coins and paper bill on the front door.



Any amount of paper bills and coins are also scattered on the front door. This is to attract prosperity on the home for the whole year.




All lights on.



Turning all the lights on is also a custom to welcome the New Year, from the sala, kitchen, garage,and all rooms of the house. This is to get rid of the negativity or whatever not so good things that had happened the previous year and to attract the "light" into the house.




Wearing red or green clothes.



People would wear green clothes (the color of money), while some would wear red, most are the Chinese. This is also to attract wealth for the New Year. Coins and paper bills of any amount are also put into the pockets to attract money. The larger the bills amount, the better.




Find the hidden treasures.



This is a game that the family can play where someone would hide different amounts of money, specially coins around the house. You can hide these from under the rugs, indoor plants, under the sofas, or anywhere you could think of that would make it somehow hard for the players to find all the coins.

The Paradox of our Time

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings, but shorter tempers; wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints; we spend more, but have less; we buy more, but enjoy it less.

We have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, but less time; we have more degrees, but less sense; more knowledge, but less judgment; more experts, but more problems; more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get angry too quickly, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too seldom, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We've learned how to make a living, but not a life; we've added years to life, not life to years.

We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor. We've conquered outer space, but not inner space; we've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul; we've split the atom, but not our prejudice.

We write more, but learn less; we plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait; we have higher incomes, but lower morals; we have more food, but less appeasement; we build more computers to hold more information to produce more copies than ever, but have less communication; we've become long on quantity, but short on quality.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion; tall men, and short character; steep profits, and shallow relationships. These are the times of world peace, but domestic warfare; more leisure, but less fun; more kinds of food, but less nutrition.

These are days of two incomes, but more divorce; of fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throw away morality, one-night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer to quiet to kill.

It is a time when there is much in the show window and nothing in the stockroom; a time when technology has brought this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to make a difference, or to just hit delete...

By Dr. Bob Moorehead
