Chinese New Year can be a very manic time leading up to the celebrations and festivities which is why we have created this comprehensive Chinese New Year Checklist for 2015, the year of the Yang Wood Goat. Chinese New Year brings so many jobs and tasks that need doing and every year that I go through the home and office that I tend to forget things that need doing which is why I created a checklist to tick off as I go through all of the tedious tasks.

The list below is the same list that I go through every year during Chinese New Year and this year, I have tailored it to the year of the Goat/Sheep and included where to place the Annual Cures and Enhancers and colour suggestions for the year which will hopefully make it a bit easier when going through everything before the start of the year of the Goat.

If you have any suggestions that I could add to the list, please feel free to comment below and I will add them to the list. You can also download the PDF version of this checklist and print it out to tick off as you go along by clicking the download link below.

□   Open all the windows and doors in every single part of the home as this is said to bring in clean, new good luck for the year.

□   Switch on all of the lights in the home inside and out as this is said to attract good luck from outside and if the windows and doors are wide open it is easy for the luck to enter. The bright lights and open windows are also used to scare away evil spirits.
