5. Bring Light to Your Home

Follow the tradition of lighting up your home! Homes are often lit up with oil lamps and candles. This comes from the belief that the house lit the brightest will be blessed with the most health and wealth. To be safe from fires, instead opt for battery operated candles, string lights and leds.

7. Have a big meal
