Dear Cecil, thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. I would like to know what to do with the items after the housewarming ritual: 1. Can you eat the pineapple, etc.? If you do not want to eat the sweets, for example because you don't eat sweet foods, can you throw them away or is this like "throwing away the good luck"? Then, what are you supposed to do with it? 2. You mentioned A charcoal (representing gold) wrapped in Red paper. One can bring this in and need not light it up. Is this placed on the stove? Can I throw it away afterwards or what should I do with it? And Red Hong Bao packets are also placed e.g. on the kitchen stove and keep a Red Hong Bao in each bedroom's cupboard drawer. How long does this remain on the stove and in the bedroom's cupboard drawer? Thank you again! Best wishes, Daniella
