Today my wife tell me is Winter Solstice, so for me it means
that
1.
Earth is furthest from the Sun
2.
Its Winter for the Northern Hemisphere / Summer for the south
3.
Christmas is coming
4.
Longest Night for those at the north pole
That all …. No my
wife say, The Tong Chit festival, you have to eat round multicolour glutinous rice
balls serve in syrup and you must eat even number balls for “Luck”, let go to the market to buy the “thong yun”
Oh well I decide to google it up in wiki,
here the link to find out more, hmm how I wish the version
in Malaysia is the one with the Alcoholic Wine instead of syrup ….
Well in summery wiki
tell me that, among others the celebration is
1.
“the making and eating of tong yun is to
symbolise reunion”
2.
“each person must eat one big ball and several
small ball”
3.
“That you are one year older and to behave
better the next year”
Well the thong yun we purchase from the market is said to be organically colored using natural ingredients, pic below
Well either way Here to Happy Winter Solstice, or Tong
Chit, And you are a year older and
please behave . (LOL)
