Survey: Do y’all do the thing with the coins in the pockets and the polka dots and the round fruits and the jumping at midnight? Or do I have a really weird family?

We used to do those, too! And the rolling of kiatkiat on th floor and throwing of salt outside the windows. Some other odd things I've now forgotten.

Wearing a Pacman shirt, will that count as polka dots? We've got round fruits, jumping and no chicken on the table (kasi isang kahig, isang tuka daw).

All of the above!

Pamahiin stuff at its finest.

Used to do it growing up, with round food and long noodles, and coins on the windows and doors, and circles everywhere, and the jumping at midnight. I think it's typical for Chinese families.

You have a superstitious family, that is all :p
