Month: January 2011

Chinese New Year is the largest Chinese holiday and is celebrated by millions in cities, towns and villages, all over the world! From Chinatown in Sydney, Melbourne, San Francisco, Vancouver and New York, the world comes together to say “Gung Hay Fat Choy” which means “Best wishes and Congratulations. Have a prosperous and good year.”

Chinese New Year is also known as the Spring Festival or Lunar New Year and marks both the start of a new Lunar Year, but also marks the start of Spring. For many who have been socked in for weeks with snow, any sign of spring could be a welcome relief!

Whether you grew up celebrating Chinese New Year with your family and are no longer living near them, or you have friends or co-workers who celebrate Chinese New Year, taking the time to send Chinese New Year Cards will offer you a chance to join in on one of the largest celebrations in the world! Sending a warm, heartfelt blessing, wishing them happiness, wealth and longevity to come in the new year is a great way to reach out in kindness and share in this meaningful tradition!
