I remember when I travel to visit my mom parents when Chinese New Year arrive. It is such a great time and not only that but also it is an opportunity to relax and hang out with your family

I'm Chinese but I'm totally dreaded to celebrate lunar new year. Wish I could be a kid again. Back then, celebrating lunar new year was the happiest moment.

I married a Chinese women, so I know the story of Chinese new year, I used to tell the story to our daughter;
An evil dragoon "Ni~yen" on the darkest night of the year when the moon was absent from the sky, would sneak into villages at night and cause chaos for the people. People would fear this dragon till a wise man came along and told them how to ward off this evil dragon. Making loud noise, wearing red & fire. When the evil dragon showed up this time the villagers banged on drums, wore the color read from head to toe and lit fire crackers and fire lanterns which scared off this evil dragon.
