Chinese New Year is a very special time for Chinese families. The New Year begins at midnight on the day of the new moon at the end of January or beginning of February. The New Year celebrations last for fifteen days. They end when the moon is full with the Lantern Festival. Everything is done to make sure that the New Year will be a lucky one. Houses are completely cleaned so that the old is swept away to make room for the new. All debts are paid back. Everyone wears new clothes and red is the luckiest color to wear. Everyone is kind and polite so that the New Year will be a happy one. Families gather together to eat delicious feasts of special foods. Different foods represent different things.

Whole fish represents togetherness. Chicken is served for prosperity. Noodles are served uncut and they represent long life. Oranges and tangerines symbolize wealth and good fortune. Special cakes are made, some with dates, some with peanuts, and others with sesame seeds. Noisy firecrackers, dragon parades, and lion dances are also part of the celebrations. The lions and dragons are long puppets with people under them that make them move. Everyone loves to watch them parade and dance through the streets!
