新年快乐!



Okay, so the lunar new year is fast approaching! Kind of fast approaching.

All right, it's next month, but we like to get the jump on these things, right? Anyway, Hong Kong has decided that there definitely has to be some kind of crazy to-do for New Years, which begins on February 10th (and runs 'til the 25th, but there won't be 24/7 partying the whole time, promise).

And while I'm sure he can put together a nice little shindig on his own, he will most likely be soliciting the help of everyone he can in order to make it truly extravagant.

Which brings me around to the point here.

If your character can do any of the following and would possibly like to volunteer, please let me know!

We need:
° Crazy insane huge amounts of food!! (Here's some ideas as to what's typically eaten.)
° People who can provide fireworks, and again think "crazy insane huge" amounts I hope you weren't planning to sleep from the 10th to 25th....
° Anyone who knows or is willing to learn the lion dance?
° On that note, maybe people who'd want to make the costumes, since I somehow suspect they aren't in abundance here.
° More food.
° I cannot emphasize the need for huge amounts of food enough.
° Drivers to transport said mass amounts of food....


ALSO!
We're also looking for people to run different "festival" stalls. If you have something you'd like to do, let me know! Some examples might be arts and crafts, prize stalls, food stalls (food is always the answer here, can you tell?), anything you can think of that you might want to do/promote/provide!


I'm tentatively planning for a few posts/logs to go along with this.

1st: Hong Kong's going to be hand-delivering invites thanks Romania and food, probably within the next few days.
2nd: The aforementioned lion dance might have its own log, for people helping to construct the costumes and those learning the dance.
3rd: A log for the actual New Years Eve meal/New Years celebration.


If we're not New Years'd out by then, we'll just have to see.

Anyway, thank you for reading my tl;dr and I hope lots of people can participate in crazy loud insane fun awesome New Years celebrating!

TOTES cutiest family :>

YEAH GOOD IDEA, decoration committee, should they be found before or after the invites are delivered? 8)? Also looking again there's a huge number of houses, so maybe the whole family participating can actually divide it up and help him deliver? (of course that part will be handwaved since it's his post, but just in case 8) )
