We celebrated Chinese New Year in our household this year with homemade fortune cookies and a fiery red dragon dance. Our celebration lasted one whole day...we're working up to the week long celebration that is traditional. I just don't have that much party in me right now!
The kids made a dragon that we danced around with, and then ate fortune cookies to our hearts content. We got some books from the library to see how the new year is celebrated in China, and I think I'd like to adopt some traditions into my own family's portfolio. Like cleaning the house from top to bottom before the new year comes. And all the food and candy all week long. That's ok isn't it? We are multicultural after all, right?
