Good Luck Oranges

Happy New Year’s Eve!

Oranges are a sign of luck and prosperity and are abundant around the New Year celebrations. They look lovely stacked up like a pyramid with a stem and a few leaves attached. One of the lucky New Year poems is about the orange and it goes like this: “Da Ji Da Li” which means the same as every other New Year poem, “Good Luck!”

For a fun and fast craft, make your own lucky oranges.
