In Chinese culture, a baby's first month birthday calls for a celebration. Proud parents introduce their latest addition to friends and relatives by holding a "moon yuet celebration" where they pass out hard boiled red dyed eggs to announce the birth. Red Eggs hold a special symbolic significance in many cultures, and the Chinese believe eggs symbolize fertility, happiness and the renewal of life. The colour red means prosperity and auspicious to the chinese.
In recent years, some of the traditions surrounding the "moon yuet" have been modified. Parents may choose to hold the celebration at a fancy restaurant or home buffet party or even complete with a children's magician. But the custom of giving out packs of Baby Fullmoon Goodies together with red-dyed eggs continues to announce the birth.
