CHARYE_Ancestral worship ceremony
Koreans believe that their ancestor visit them on seollal so we prepare
special food to pay tribute yo our ancestors and call this practice 'charye'.
Every New year, Jesa, chuseok I prepare this table for 14 years.
I like to prepare alone so that I can manage my time to buy the engredients
Like Vegetables, fruits and meat. and also how much budget I needed. Usually
every charye ( food in the table) I spend almost 1Million Krw. The price of meat like kalbi is expensive plus pork , fish and chicken. 1 box per of fruits like apples, pears
grapes, strawberry, banana, watermelon, peach, jujubes, etc.
During New year and chuseok vegetables are also expensive like spinach triple price than normal price so my technique is to buy earlier , steam and put in freezer.
BUTCHIMGAE _preparing and cooking for 2hours, Doing by this for 14years.
My Jon or butchimgae are made of sweet potato, potato, squash(애호박),korean cabbage,
meatballs, tofu,carrots, samgyup and dongtea fish. Sometimes I add greenpepper (천양고초) because old people like spicy butchimgae. The flour I used is ottogi buchim karo. and kong (beans) oil.
When I wake up early in the morning , I made this soup.
In Korean they eat Rice cake soup for new year but in the philippines we eat pansit bihon
May kasabihan kasi sa pilipinas na ang pagkain ng bihon ay pampahaba ng buhay.
Sa korean naman pagkumain ng Rice cake soup ay isang traditionally believed na nagga grant ng goodluck for the year and dagdag ng edad ng isang taon.
For example yung anak ko ngayoon ay 13years old sa pilipinas sa korea +1, Meaning sa korea 14 years old na sya.
Korean New year where not complete with out Giftsets,
The gift giving extentends beyond homes to workplaces when companies usually offer each of thier employees a gift as well. So the best way to celebrate would be by giving gifts. In the philippines we exchange and give give gift duting christmass holidays.
and the most awaiting of the kids recieving sebetdon from parents , uncles &aunts, grandmother & grandfather.
SEBAE THE KOREAN NEW YEAR BOW~
after eating the food, the young members of every family perform a ritual called "sebae" new years bow which is the act of bowing deeply.
The younger kids bow yo their elders and, in return, recieve pocket money ftom them. This practices increase their love and respect for each other.
KOREAN NEW YEAR ITS BRING UNITY, our family members and relatives get

This is the time for reflection,hope, and high spirits.
This is the time to pay respect to the family members and ancestors.
