- 新年快乐- Happy Lunar New Year- Year Of The Ox- Happy Lunar New Year! February 12th is the beginning of Lunar New Year! Some traditions I do include getting red-envelopes (红包) with money inside from my grandmother and making dumplings (饺子) with my Mom. Actually, I think it was mostly my Mom making them I'm not good with wrapping them, but I will try again this year! Another tradition is eating long noodles (长寿面) for a long life. Lanterns and fireworks are also part of the celebrations but I won't be doing that this year. If you would like to do something, you can try to wear red clothes if you have any and you could tell someone (-新年快乐- xīn nián kuài lè) :D!! P.S. It is fine to say “ 新年快乐” but also fine to say “ 新年快樂”. One is simplified Chinese the other is traditional :)! I’m just using 新年快乐
