1/27: The 18th Annual Exit Zero Burns Supper At Ferry Park Cape May’s LOCAL Station CAPE MAY MUSIC CAFE! Our 24/7 Playlist - Singer-Songwriter & Hits Thru the Decades
The Activity Column Catherine Dugan’s guide to getting out there... this week, celebrate the Lunar New Year! Many cultures — probably 20 percent of the world’s population — mark the lunar new year with a multi-day celebration. Traditionally, it’s a time to return to your childhood home for a long visit. You’ll catch up with cousins, aunts, uncles and in-laws. You might help prepare for the holiday by cleaning the house to ward off illness and preparing lots of food so that the Kitchen God can have time off to report to the Jade Emperor. Include dumplings — they resemble an ancient currency and invite good fortune. When the holiday begins, young people kneel before their elders to show respect, and the elders give red envelopes of cash to the young. Once an adult — a married adult, in some cultures — you pass out those red envelopes. At the end of the celebration, a lantern festival caps off the festivities. If you can’t get home, Cape May is a great place to mark the holiday. When you’re feeling homesick, a walk along the beach is a cheery distraction. Think about the legends associated with the new year, like the story of the monster Nian, a fierce beast with the head of a lion and razor-sharp horns. Nian left the sea every new year and attacked villagers, destroying homes and stealing livestock. The terror caused the villagers to pack up and flee to the mountains. One year, a hungry stranger arrived as the villagers prepared to seek safety. In spite of the chaos of the escape, a woman took pity on the stranger. She fed him and gave him shelter. In return, the man — a celestial messenger in disguise — taught the kind woman that Nian feared bright lights, firecrackers and the color red. Ever since, people decorate with red, set off firecrackers, and stay up late with lights blazing. If you’re missing your traditional Lunar New Year celebration, video chatting can take away some of the sting, especially if your family likes to set a place at the table for absent family members. Experts suggest recreating your traditions — decorate with red, put some riddles in your lantern, and send electronic red envelopes to relatives far away. Cut your hair before the holiday begins — Cape May’s salons and barber shops are open but call ahead just to be sure. Pick up two mandarin oranges and present them to a friend, holding one in each hand to show respect. Visit the Lobster House fish market for a whole fish to steam as a symbol of abundance. Make some longevity noodles and sticky rice balls to invite togetherness. Wish someone prosperity in the new year — “Gong hey fat choy!” Hats Tees Tanks Sweatshirts Hoodies Zip-Ups Art BINGO SALE ALL MONTH Spin the wheel for a guaranteed discount of 12-33% in addition to sale items!
