Is the sentence grammatically correct?

when celebrating the CNY, i just thought of the lucky money comes to my pocket more and more...

(Note: CNY refers to Chinese New Year)

My edit is:

when celebrating CNY, what is in my mind is that let lucky money come to my pocket more readily.

What do you say?

From the point of view of grammatical correctness:

. . . . what is in my mind is that lucky money [should/may] come to my pocket more readily.

If you wish to use the "let," I don't believe you
