Jeongwol Daeborerm (Feb 22, 2013)

This Sunday is Jeongwol Daeboreum, the first full moon of the Lunar New Year.
This holiday is celebrated across Korea with many traditions and customs.
My favorite tradition is geuybulnori. it's a game where farmers burn the dry grass on the ridges between rice paddies.
Children put burning charcoal or pine cones in tin cans with holes and twirl it around. it is supposed to drive away evil spirits and bring bountiful harvest.
Another custom is cracking burem with your teeth on the morning of Daeboreum. Bureom refers to a variety of nuts such as walnut, chestnuts, peanuts and pine nuts.
This is believed to keep your teeth healthy for the year.
