Recorded before the Lunar New Year, Sheila and I talk a bit about how our respective families celebrate Chinese New Year, the meaning behind the customs and our goals for the year of the ox.
LNY is a significant celebration in many cultures that begins on the first new moon of the lunar calendar and ends 15 days later on the first full moon. As you will hear in this episode, there may be many different variations on the food eaten or customs that are practiced, but the true meaning of LNY remains the same.
Note also that while we use Lunar New Year and Chinese New Year interchangeably in this episode, I believe Lunar New Year should be the correct term used since it is celebrated in other parts of the world, not just China.
I love hearing about how other people celebrate LNY so head over to the NYTM Facebook page or Instagram and send me a message! I'd love to connect and chat.
