Having lived in Hong Kong for a few years, and had Links of London shops there for so many years, I still cherish this tradition and so I am proud to share our specially designed red pockets with our lovely clients. This year's design incorporates our new Double Happiness Pendant, signifying joy, happiness, and good fortune. The identical Chinese characters – meaning happiness sit side by side, doubling the happiness, which is why it is often seen as a symbol of marriage which will bring good luck to the happy couple.
As the city prepares for the festivities, families come together to celebrate. It's a time of joy, reunion, and reflection. In China, businesses and factories close for a minimum of two weeks, allowing employees to make their way home and spend this special time with their loved ones. The remarkable high-speed train infrastructure has made this journey more accessible in recent years, adding to the ease of the annual migration.
Wishing you all a joyous and prosperous Year of the Dragon! May it be filled with happiness, good health, and moments of togetherness with your loved ones.
