Today is the first day of the year of the Ox. Chinese New Year celebrates the beginning of the new lunar year. Chinese people celebrate Chinese New Year all around the world. China has celebrated the Chinese New Year for around 4000 years.
Chinese people buy new clothes to wear for the New Year. There are dragon dances and firework displays too. In China, people put up golden and red decorations in their homes. Everyone that is Chinese gives red envelopes to their family. I love Chinese New Year because it makes me feel happy.
I hope you have a great Chinese New Year!
Happy Chinese New Year!
