Happy New Year!

I went to a local Chinese New Year parade that is on as part of a local cities season of illuminations (they have various themes night during January and February)
I really enjoyed it! Lots of dragons, Chinese lions, lanterns, food and light shows. As well as various arts and craft things for the kids.
I was born in the year of the snake, which is partly why I have a snake tattoo :slight_smile:
I’ve not went through all my pictures yet (its my birthday today so been busy celebrating that too :smiley: ) but here are a couple I like so far.

I will admit, I did have to google to find out why the Lions were being fed lettuce!

Sorry but it’s a minor pet peeve of mine when people call it Chinese New Year. Chinese aren’t the only people who celebrate it! Can you imagine how annoyed people around the world would be if everyone started calling Christmas “American Christmas”, just because America is the most “important” country which celebrates it? Please call it Lunar New Year :smiley:

That’s actually a really good point - I always call it Chinese New Year since my girlfriend is from Hong Kong, but Lunar New Year makes a lot more sense. I doubt that many people would be confused by the change in terminology, so I’ll have to try to remember to say that instead. Good call!

Happy Chinese New. :slight_smile:

I’ve always wanted to attend the Lantern Festival. A few years ago they celebrated the Chinese New Year and a spectacular Lantern Festival but I missed it and they haven’t had one since.
