We’ll ring within the Yr of the Dragon Saturday, February 10. My household has all the time celebrated Lunar New Yr with the standard household reunion dinner on New Yr’s Eve, and lately I see it as a celebration that’s extra vital than ever.
It’s not as a result of I’m superstitious or something like that, despite the fact that each custom surrounding the celebration is about luck: from sweeping the flooring and chopping your hair earlier than the brand new 12 months to brush or lower away dangerous luck, to the meals which can be served as a result of they rhyme with sure phrases. It’s not even concerning the cash, although my children love their pink packets of money simply as a lot as I did after I was a bit of one.
I believe Lunar New Yr is vital not simply because it’s a time to be with those you’re keen on but in addition as a result of it’s a time for reset and reflection. Christmas will be hectic as you wrap up the calendar 12 months. Lunar New Yr falls when the thrill of the previous 12 months has handed, at a time when your focus is just not a lot on escaping your on a regular basis life, however on what sort of on a regular basis you need your life to be within the Yr of the Dragon.
