It is Chinese New Year's Eve. Max is helping us clean our house.We always give our house a big clean especially for Chinese New Year but never, ever on New Year's Day. My mum says that if you clean on New Year's Day, it sweeps away all the good luck for the whole year.See the little kumquat tree outside our door? We have one every Chinese New Year. Its fruit is lucky because it looks like gold,the colour of wealth.
