Celebrate the Year of the Dragon this Lunar New Year! Lunar New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, is a 15-day festival celebrated annually depending on when the new moon is sighted. This year, it begins on February 10 and ends on February 24. Each year is represented by one of 12 zodiac animals. This year is the Year of the Dragon, a sign of luck, strength, and health.
It is traditional to exchange bright red money envelopes symbolizing good luck, happiness, and health for the new year. Traditional foods are eaten and special gifts to friends and family are exchanged showing appreciation and respect for the receiver, while also bringing luck to the person giving and the loved one receiving the gift.
