Happy Lunar New Year! Do You Know Your Chinese Zodiac?

Just like how people celebrate Dec. 31 and Jan. 1 each year, Lunar New Year allows people to put the past behind and look forward to a fresh start. 

Each Lunar year is represented by a cycle of 12 zodiac animals. This year is the Year of the Tiger, the first since 2010. Do you know yours?

And Lunar New Year isn't just one night or day of celebrating, as it lasts for several days.

In China, the celebration lasts 15 days, with the Spring Lantern Festival on the final day. Tết Nguyên Đán is a week long, and Seollal in South Korea goes for three days. 

Whether you are celebrating or see shops offering Lunar New Year merchandise, you may see a lot of red. That's because in Chinese tradition, red is considered good luck and wards off any bad spirits. Children from Chinese backgrounds traditionally are given red envelopes with money by family.

Let the Lunar New Year generate feelings of gratitude but also excitement to look ahead for a bright future.
