While some people may know that it begins on the second new moon after the winter solstice and ends on the full moon, YOU know that Chinese New Year is best known as the multi-day festival that marks the start of the new year. Gifts, lanterns, and fireworks are just a few of the ways you’ll be enjoying yourself over the next couple of weeks, but really, you are very happy to honor your friends, loved ones, and ancestors with a week of celebration!
