The whole house should be cleaned on New Years Eve. Cleaning done on New Year s Day is bad luck as it means that good fortune is cleaned away.

Firecrackers on New Year's Eve represent destroying the old year and welcoming the new.

At midnight on New Year's Eve, all doors and windows must be opened to let the old year out and the new year in.

Everything borrowed should be returned by New Year s Day or it means that you will be borrowing all year.
