With the long New Year holidays approaching, housewives are thinking about the menu and deciding what to cook for the New Year 2020, pleasing the Rat, who is its mistress. According to Eastern traditions, by appeasing an animal, you can achieve well-being and prosperity for the whole year.

How to properly set the table for New Year 2020

The table should be beautiful and elegant. The pig loves warm colors, so you need to choose yellow (golden), red, brown, light green. If housewives use white tablecloths at home, you can please the Rat by choosing napkins of the desired color scheme. When deciding how to beautifully set the table, you should not exclude traditional flowers, candles and the best service.
