\"\"Saturday is Chinese New Year. It’s the year of the Dragon.<\/p>\n

Chinese New Year starts tomorrow and kicks off the 15-day Spring Festival.<\/p>\n

Spring Festival or the Lunar New Year is the most important time for families to get together, likened by some to Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years combined.<\/p>\n

A big family reunion dinner is usually held on Lunar New Year\u2019s Eve, which would be tonight.<\/p>\n

A couple things you’re not supposed to do on Chinese New Year are: no sweeping or taking out the trash, because it’s like sweeping wealth away and dumping out good fortune. And washing your hair supposedly washes away your good luck too. Things that are encouraged are: lighting fireworks, wearing red, gifting people cash in red envelopes, and eating dumplings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"February 9th is the 40th day of the year.
