Chinese New Year Prayer Offering

On the eve of lunar New Year's day prayer offering to Heaven Gods, the time to pray different from year to year, this Snake year the best time 9-10 am, there should be 6 or 9 dishes offer for prayer on the table. In villages it is mostly 9 dishes, my mother use 9 dishes, but now since married daughter  & son  having their own family, for the last few years I prefer to use 6 dishes in order not to waste foods.

However a must 3 cups of tea ( ti guan yin) and rice wine 5 cups.
