Lunar New Year’s Eve

Today is new year’s eve for the lunar new year and it is a BIG day for the families that celebrate it. Like Americans needing to be home for Thanksgiving, everyone MUST be home for the reunion dinner on new year’s eve. 100+ million Chinese people have been traveling the last couple days to make it home today.

But for those in Phnom Penh who did not need to travel, it was a day for putting out offerings for the spirits of the ancestors.

This machine shop set out a large array of fruits and drinks and bread.
This business’ arrangement wasn’t quite as large but was done with real care.
Here two shops, side-by-side, put out offerings on chairs set on the edge of the street.
Amid all the offerings from family shops, this family just put out a small arrangement with fruit and candles.
