Happy Lunar New Year to you! In our country, the Chinese communities celebrate it but it is not a national holiday. As I remember, Lunar New Year in CHina means having huge meals with the family and watching a New Year program in CCTV. For foreigners in China, this holiday is a great time to travel. For those staying at home however, New Year is boring. Most supermarkets and department stores are closed or if not they close early.
