There's a joke going around that CNY this year stands for "Celebrate Next Year" but my wise and optimistic 90 year old aunt says that it can also mean "Celebrate (the) New Year". True, with all the lockdown restrictions, it will be a quiet beginning to the Year of the Ox but she says there's no reason why we can't enjoy ourselves at home if we stock up on our goodies and spend our time eating, sleeping and playing umpteen rounds of mahjong! 2020 was a tough year but there's always hope that our pleas and prayers to the Gods to end this pandemic will be heard this year, so she's telling me to throw out my shorts and t-shirts and dress up for the new year, even though I'll only be pottering around the house! Trust the words of this nonagenarian, she knows more about life than we do!
