Well, it is the most important of the traditional Chinese holidays and in China it's known as the "Spring Festival." The date changes each year too since it follows the Chinese calendar, which is lunisolar. Chinese New Year does not end until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, aru.
But the meaning behind the festivities is similar to that of the Western New Year: families coming together to enjoy good food and welcoming the new year with hopes of good luck and fortune.
Last year I celebrated it here with my family and friends and I plan on doing the same this year. You, Envy, and Miguel are all welcome to join in if we happen to be in the same city by then. [He smiles a bit.]
