Growing up, everyone just assumed that the lunar new year was Chinese New Year. But many Asian ethnicities celebrate the new year on the lunar calendar as well. Don’t forget that it’s Vietnamese, Korean, and many other’s new year as well.

Every year, my maternal grandfather helped my mom set up the alter for new year. I wish I paid more attention back then so I knew how he did it. My regrets are that many of his traditions will be lost as time goes on. So remember to hug your loved ones tight this year and ask them to share as many stories as you can.

These past couple of years have been tough being in school during the new year. But here’s to trying to be there for family all the years to come!

Cheers to all the little dragons this year!
