That is definitely new year for you
Lots and lots of food to be shared and received
My mom has this habit If giving people things on normal days
She is a giver and some days it's annoying because she will deprive us just to satisfy another(outsider).
So when it is new year, we get tons of goodies and appreciation for her kind gestures.
Hahaha I mum does same and while we feel bad, we ripe the benefits at the end of the year, because each house we take food to gives us but gift and cash.
