It's a new year and it's the year of dragon. As usual, I no longer truly celebrate Chinese New Year since I'm far from my family but I long to see them again and enjoy the reunion and laughter together.
To carry on the tradition, I will probably do a small 捞生dinner in my own home and enjoy the good eats with a few close friends. I also want to continue the tradition of 红包for the kids of my close friends because the fondest memory I had as a kid during Chinese New Year was to receive more pocket money.
I wish you and your family would start the tradition by wearing new clothes, red preferably, and visit China Town and watch lion dance with your children. Happy Chinese New Year to you all!
