Will you be celebrating Lunar New Year?

[AviatorTom]

Sunday, 22 January 2023 is Lunar New Year, the beginning of the Year of the Rabbit.

Will you be celebrating?

[OlderAndWiser]

My girlfriend came to the US from China when she was 27 years old. She is now 59. She celebrates Chinese New Year and so I will celebrate wth her.

[OlderAndWiser]

Thanks for MHO!

Go back to Hong Kong tomorrow for Chinese New Year

[OlderAndWiser]

@Amy55022 I'm not sure anyone can travel to China now, or that anone would want to. She tells me there is a mandatory 2 week quarantine upon arrival.

I might order some rabbit chocolates from the grocery store but I think my dad is planning a vacation to Mexico that week.

[DesiUwU]

yes, i hope so

[DesiUwU]

so, i have a Chinese friend, and i did his math assignments for him, thinking he would pay me. he still owes me like, 5 bucks. So then i asked him if i could come over on Lunar New Year cuz i have an unhealthy obsession with Chinese food, and the dude said no!! ima tell his mama that i'm the only reason he got a good grade!

About a year now, but I have had bunnies since I was a little girl.

[Paul_in_Indy]

LOL :)

[DeeDeeDeVour]

It'll be more special if the Saturday preceding the 22nd has a full moon as we await midnight when it turns Sunday.

[Deliciouscookies]

Not really, but love my bunny so perhaps I should :)

[Sparkie460]

Bunnies are so cute. How long have you had your bunny

[purplepoppy]

I've just had a Google and there's no events going on near me to watch sadly.

[MysteriousDarkness]

I never have celebrated it since I am not Chinese or none of my friends have been Chinese. On top of it my girlfriend isn't Chinese.

Yes, I will sacrifice an animal, maybe even a humanoid one.

[DizzyDesii]

I don't know what that even is

[AviatorTom]

Many parts of the world use a lunar calendar, based on the phases of the moon, rather than the 365-day "year" movement of the earth in its orbit around the sun. Lunar New Year is the start of a lunar year cycle. Check out this Wikipedia article:
