The Chinese New Year is on 23 Jan 2012. It is one of the traditional Chinese festivals that most of Chinese still treasure it. They would clean up and tidy up their house on the 28th day of 12th  month in the lunar calendar (21 Jan 2012). It is believed the cleaning sweeps away the bad luck of the preceding year and makes their homes ready for good luck. The Buddhist or Taoist families would clean the home altars and statues thoroughly. Before the cleaning, on 24th day of 12th month, they also hold a ceremony for gratitude to the kitchen god who is the recorder of family functions, reporting to the Jade Emperor. They often offer sweet foods to bride the kitchen god.
