Just because the pandemic is still going on does not mean that we can’t decorate our homes for the occasion. Go all out, and incorporate red and gold throughout your home. Or visit an Asian store online or in-person for more ideas and decorative pieces. And, don’t forget the red envelopes or dragons!
