To celebrate a new year. The time of giving thanks to our ancestors for letting us live this long. It is also a time of reunion with those that you don't meet often. That's just one of the reasons. When I ask my mum, she said she didn't know. She just did what she was told when she was small up until now. It might be because of celebrating a new yer full of new things and luck. There are many myths that you can research up in the internet. Every story has its different side.
