I was born in Vietnam, it is a country that has a culture same with China, and it also has the Chinese New Year, but we call it to be Tet. In the first day of January of the Chinese Calendar, we prepare the new clothes, new shoes,and candy or cake for our customers, in that day we will not clean anything in the house, because its means you will clean the money out yourselves. With the big family, and they're living in different houses, they will meet together at their Parent's house. When the children see their uncles or Aunt, they will say:"Happy New Year", and they will have a lot of money in the first day of year form their uncles and aunts, or we have a proverb:"Money come like water".
At night, everybody in the family will have a celebration, in the table will have soup, Chinese braised pork ,square glutinous rice cake, with coke and beer. After that, we will be together to play the cards, with pokers, or blackjack for fun. And with the children they will come to the park near house to play with the "Outside Market". And in the day with "Happy New Year", and the New Year will be celebrate for three days.
