What did you do last year for Chinese New Year?
What is Chinese New Year?
Chinese New Year is also known as the  Spring Festival  or the  Lunar New Year . Chinese people all over the world celebrate it, and it is usually in January or February. We love Chinese New Year!
The dates of Chinese New Year are different every year because we need to look at the moon…
We will visit our friends, parents and grandparents during Chinese New Year. Married people will give  red packets  or ‘ lai see ’. This packet has money inside!
We will wear new clothes and say special, lucky things to wish people  good luck ! Gong hei fat choi! Happy New Year! I wish you good luck!
We also give small  mandarin  oranges for good luck and make  sticky rice dumplings ! The streets will be decorated with  lanterns  in cities all around the world... London, England
We may see some  lion dancing , visit the  flower market  and watch the  fireworks  in Tsim Sha Tsui too!

Western countries also have a zodiac. But it is different. Instead of animals, each sign is like a pattern in the stars. It looks like this  
" Happy New Year" We all know this one - it simply means ' 新年快樂 '. " Congratulations and be prosperous " This means ' 恭喜發財 ' - prosperous means 'to be rich'. " Everlasting peace, year after year " In Chinese, we would say ' 歲歲平安 ' " If the family lives in harmony, all affairs will prosper" This means that everything will be ok if your family is happy.  In Chinese, ' 家和万事兴 ' " May everything go according to your wishes" This simply means that we hope everything you wish for comes true!  Or ' 事事如意  '. " Congratulations and be prosperous. Now give me a red packet!" In Chinese, some naughty children say ' 恭喜發財 , 利是逗來 '  …but this is very impolite! Lucky sayings in English!

The Story of the Nian Monster Once upon a time .... Long ago, in Han times, there was a monster whose name was  ’Nian’ . This monster came once each year to a little village and scared everyone!  One day, just by luck, the villagers discovered that "Nian" had a some fears of his own.  He was afraid of the colour red  and even  more  afraid of scary loud noises!  The villagers prepared. When "Nian" appeared, everyone in the village ran for the red banners and noise makers they had made. They waved their banners and rattled their noise makers.  This scared "Nian" so much that "Nian" ran away and was never heard from again!
