Chinese New Year is only 2 weeks away, its time to dress up the house in happy and loud colors, in the spirit of CNY. Traditionally it is believe that the loud noises chase away the "Nian" monster, till today Chinese folks still carry the tradition of bursting fire crackers and wearing bright red during the new year.
So just like last year, instead of taking down the Christmas tree, I removed all the Christmas ornaments and replaced them with some handicraft Chinese New Year decoration:
Some oriental fans made from ang pao packets and wrapping paper,
fire crackers and some "gold nuggets" gotten from the CNY hampers.
Angpao lanterns made by my little boy..
Our CNY tree glowing under the morning sunshine...
I have the feeling this will be a good new year..

农历新年即将来临了，我和大个子也忙着为家里添新意好迎新年。
依旧传统，新年时节家里要红彤彤热烘烘的，就仿如小时候所读的童话故事，要吵吵闹闹敲锣打鼓的才可以把吃人的年兽吓跑。我不喜欢吵闹，但倒不介意为家中添一份红彤彤的新年意境。
一如往年，与其把已架起的圣诞树收起，我把圣诞装饰除去，换上新年饰物来参热闹。
看，我们红彤彤的红包树好啦，就等着迎新春。树上挂满自己手制的简易饰物 -- 用红包袋制成的扇子，小红炮，小哥哥的手工红包灯笼，和现有的“金银宝”。再加上个串着牡丹花的仿古木篮子和门口的一幅对联，新年气氛有够浓厚了吧！
期待中。。。
