Happy Lunar New Year from The Mix! ✨

GemmaGemma Community Manager Posts: 1,137 Wise Owl
Lunar New Year is one of the most beloved festivals in Eastern Asia. In Chinese customs, it’s all about moving on from the past and welcoming a fresh new year with lovely blessings for prosperity, wearing the brightest colours and celebrating with who you love! No matter where you are from, we hope the spirit of the Dragon Year may lift you up for many more adventures ahead! 🐉

Alt text spoilered:
The image has a title that says 'Happy Lunar New Year! from The Mix' with The Mix logo in the top right-hand corner. Below this, is an illustration of a young person celebrating Lunar New Year, holding some fortune cookies. They are surrounded by a dragon and a lion.

    Happy Lunar New Year everybody. It's the year of the Dragon this year and because I'm technically Welsh our flag got a dragon so its the year of Wales, hopefully we do win in the rugby this year!.

    I went to Chinatown in London yesterday without knowing what day it was :sweat_smile:

    Interestingly my friend was telling me about some of the customs while we were walking through. Lots of stuff around preserving wealth and prosperity, and luck as @sinead276 said. Shops were also selling cabbage leaves on string, which I didn't have a chance to research!

    I'll have to do some research on cabbage leaves and eat they represent. I know during Chinese New year and lunar new year sometimes families will often give their children red envelopes. The red colour often represents wealth, prosperity and good luck for the child's future and endeavors (I can't spell this word lol).
