*My mom used to collect some coins and when the new year comes she put the coins in a bowl and shake it to create sounds. She said its a good luck for a money throughout a year. And also wearing dotted dresses on new year don't know why.

*1) Every New Year we put coins in our pockets or hands and shake them to make noise which means calling for blessings to come. Then keep the money in a safe place and not spend it coz they said that if you spend it then there's no good luck anymore.

*2) Wear polka dot clothes coz the round objects means money like coins.

*3) Collect 13 round different kinds of fruits (sweet if possible) which means abundance.

*4) Lastly, have 3 little cups where one is full of rice, another one is full of water and the last one is full of salt. I can't remember every meaning of it but I think the meaning of rice is abundance of food, water is peace and I don't remember what the salt is but the meaning of the three are good.

*5) Wrap 12 hard boiled eggs in a red paper or red colored plastic each. The 12 eggs means the 12 months of the year but I don't remember about the meaning of the eggs.

*6) Open the windows of the house and make noise inside or outside, for cars is to open windows also and honk the horn or if you wanna go around the neighborhood, drag any metal stuff that you can tie at the back of your vehicle just to make noise coz it means calling for more blessings.

*1) My mom has a tradition of wearing clothes with dots too since it symbolizes un-ending blessings for money.
*2) They also believe that if wherever you are when the new years eve came, by the time of 12 am, you'll be staying there for whole year.

*3) Put some circle shapes fruits on the dinner table. And put coins on your pockets for money.

*4) My dad always have this chinese tradition of putting up the new calendar by 12 am of new year's eve since it brings good luck!

I don't know either if those traditions is true. But there's nothing wrong when you do them. I am tagging this to Jerlalou, Poray, byotipol anne, Juliana and Twerlyn.
