The Lunar New Year in 2024 begins on Saturday February 10th, and marks the beginning of the Year of the Dragon according to the Chinese zodiac. People around the world, especially those of East Asian descent, celebrate this important cultural and traditional holiday with various festivities, including family gatherings, feasting, fireworks, and cultural performances. My family celebrates by coming together over meals, exchanging red envelopes and blessings, as well as visiting the temples to pray for the new year ahead and share our wishes with our ancestors.

The Year of the Dragon is considered particularly auspicious, symbolizing power, strength, and good fortune. The Lunar New Year is a time for renewal, reflection, and spending quality time with loved ones, ushering in positive energy for the year ahead.
