Happy Chinese New Year!!! The year of the monkey!!! Good luck all you little monkeys out there!!! Chinese New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, is a time of traditions. Customs that the Chinese follow on New Year are said to bring luck and happiness to the New Year and all the people. Chinese children are given special treats on New Year's. Red envelopes of lucky money called lai see are given to them by friends and relatives. They are encouraged to eat many cookies, oranges, and orange-flavored dishes to get ready for the sweetness of the New Year.
(I myself are shocked that the parents actually encourage them to do so!!! ^-^) Also did you know that in China, on New Years Day everything red is lucky?
What Chinese year were you born in? What abilities are told for you in the sign?
