Happy lunar new year everyone!
Today is the first day (Jan 1st) of lunar calendar, we called it 'Chor Yat'. It is one of the most important day for most asians.
All the families get together on chinese new year eve for reunion dinner. The official color for chinese new year is red which means lucky and good fortune for the chinese. So don't be surprise if you see everyone wears red from top to toes. The senior members of the family will give the kids red envelope with cash in it which symbolizes happiness, health and prosperity.
On the first day of new year, families and friends visit each other, get together and celebrate it big. I'm still in college and couldn't go home to celebrate this big holiday. So this year my friends and I had a potluck dinner at my place and almost 35 people showed up. They threw a party after and everyone had fun.
