Most office will close half day at around 12pm as staff heads home for Reunion dinner. The biggest event of any Chinese New Year´s Eve is the dinner every family will have. A dish consisting of fish will appear on the tables of Chinese families. It is for display for the New Year´s Eve dinner. In northern China, it is also customary to have dumplings for this dinner.
