Our Karen people usually we celebrate wrist tying in August one time per year.Because of our culture for many years ago. The old karen people celebrated it so we fllow to them stept by stept untin now. when we celebrate Karen wrist tying day.we wear karen clothes,scards and karen skirts.some people dance and sing.We use the flag and brass dram.
And we play the horn,cymbals and recorder. At karen wrist tying day.And usually we eat sticky
rice mix with coconut and salt.We eat sugar cane.Why they celebrated wrist tying day.Because
of the old karen people hope that we will know each other and have good relation ship to other karen.To keep our culture.
when we celebrated wrist tying day we use two colour of threads and candles.We put
them in the big bowls.And then old people do wrist tying and bless all karen people.
