On Wednesday we welcomed in Lunar New Year, which embraces a time of vibrant traditions, family reunions, and new beginnings. This festive season is marked by time-honored customs that bring people together to celebrate prosperity, luck, and togetherness.

From the joyous reunion dinners to the spectacular dragon and lion dances, each tradition carries deep cultural significance. The exchange of red envelopes symbolizes blessings for the year ahead, while fireworks light up the sky to ward off bad luck. Streets and homes are adorned with bright red decorations, and communities come alive with the sounds of festive music and celebration.

According to Chinese astrology, the snake symbolizes intelligence, mystery, and renewal. In 2025, the Wood Snake will bring new opportunities for growth and change. It is a time to reflect on the past, embrace personal growth, and look forward to the opportunities the new year brings. Whether through paying respects to ancestors, making wishes for the future, or simply enjoying the company of loved ones, Lunar New Year is a moment to celebrate hope and renewal.

Do you celebrate Lunar New Year? What is your Chinese zodiac sign? And what does the year of the snake have in store for you based on your sign?

May this Lunar New Year bring you happiness, prosperity, and success.. Wishing you all a joyful and fulfilling 2025!
