Chinese New Year

Chinese New Year starts on Feb. 10 2013, ends Jan. 30 2014. In ancient China, a snake found in the house was considered a good omen. Not now I am guessing! Firecrackers ward off evil spirits.

Chinese New Year

Chinese children usually receive red packets or envelopes during CNY. The color red wards off evil spirits and brings good luck. The amount in the packet ends in an even number. 88 & 168 are considered especially lucky numbers.
