Chinese New Year "Tidbit" - Gifts of Gold
Chinese oranges, or tangerines, are commonly given out during this period. They are called "kam" in Cantonese, which also sounds like "gold" in the same dialect.
In Mandarin, they sound like "ji", meaning "lucky" and also mean "gifts of good omen". The oranges are given in even numbers for good luck when visiting friends and relatives.
