An interesting custom of the Kongpo New Year is the feast provided for dogs. On New Year's Eve, every Kongpo family is supposed to prepare a sumptuous feast for their dogs. That includes cuo, a meal made of Tsamba, and beef, mutton, fruits, yak butter, etc, in the belief that that dogs' food choices are determined by God and able to foretell the fortunes of the coming year. By eating cuo the dogs foretell a good crop harvest, butters represent prosperity in animal husbandry while fruits symbolize productive orchards. It is considered bad luck if dogs tend to go for the meat or bark and break the plates. On New Year's Eve, people also drive 'ghosts' out of the house by throwing cobbles into corners and pouring chang onto torches. Having shut the door to cut off the ghosts' way back, the family then gather to roast a food made of yak butter, cheese crumbs and wheat flour. The more that is eaten the better as it will overload ghosts and so prevent them from carrying people away in the middle of the night.</p>
