Today marks the start of the year of the Rooster. Before alarm clocks, the rooster's crow woke people in time for work. The rooster is associated with punctuality and attention and wards off evil spirits.

Traditional Chinese New Year greetings include the Cantonese phrase Kung hei fat choi, which translates to "happiness and prosperity." The color red wards off bad luck and misfortune, and many Chinese wear red underwear at the New Year and hang red lanterns in their home.

Use red paper to make an offering envelope, carefully folding and gluing it. If you live in an urban area, you'll find red envelopes in most dollar stores. Because 5, 7, and 8 are lucky numbers for Rooster, enclose $5, $7, or $8 in the envelope and give it to a child or senior, bestowing a blessing on them. It's believed that how you act today influences your luck for the year. Be generous and happy. Know prosperity.
