This is true.  Every year my parents throw a Chinese New Year party.  This holiday is sometimes in January and sometimes in February.  We eat Chinese food in Chinese costumes.  We bang pots and pans to scare away “evil spirits” and we give pennies wrapped in red paper for good luck.  When I was a young girl my mom decided to start celebrating EVERY holiday.  It brought purpose and fun to each month.  Now that I am a mom the tradition continues.  We have great family memories.
