I used to take the first day off all the time and it never counted against me.</p> <p>Sorry to hear about your LO. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-celebrating-the-lunar-new-year-with-your-los#post-2448962 Thu, 04 Feb 2016 11:00:14 +0000 snowjewelz 2448962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So cool that so many schools/DCP celebrate! I think for the first time, schools in NYC are closed to observe the holiday! </p> <p>We are supposed to have dinner with our families over the weekend, but with DD having RSV, we have no idea what's going to happen now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-celebrating-the-lunar-new-year-with-your-los#post-2448820 Thu, 04 Feb 2016 10:02:07 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2448820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Already?! Wow, time flies! My immediate family never celebrated traditionally, but parts of my extended family were really, into it. I try to incorporate a few "lucky" elements, but just at home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-celebrating-the-lunar-new-year-with-your-los#post-2448790 Thu, 04 Feb 2016 09:51:05 +0000 Alivoo01 2448790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: We do hot pot one night then for New Year's dinner, we shut down my aunt's restaurant an hour or so early and use the buffet line to fill it up with all sorts of food. It's crazy, but mmmm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-celebrating-the-lunar-new-year-with-your-los#post-2448767 Thu, 04 Feb 2016 09:39:28 +0000 Andrea 2448767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always go into their school and do a craft project for CNY. </p> <p>Their Mandarin school does a celebration so we go to that. It's this Saturday. </p> <p>Have fun with your family! We were with my family in Hawaii last year for CNY and it was so much more fun! And it was suuuuuuuper nice to get red envelopes, too, of course. :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-celebrating-the-lunar-new-year-with-your-los#post-2448746 Thu, 04 Feb 2016 09:30:34 +0000 Mamaof2 2448746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not at home but DCP does! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-celebrating-the-lunar-new-year-with-your-los#post-2448742 Thu, 04 Feb 2016 09:29:06 +0000 regberadaisy 2448742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: @Alivoo01: I started for the older toddler room. But in the preschool room they already put it on the calendar before I had a chance to speak to the teachers!</p> <p>@Alivoo01: I can't wait! I have to bring my "fat" pants. LOL We always do hot pot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-celebrating-the-lunar-new-year-with-your-los#post-2448717 Thu, 04 Feb 2016 09:21:06 +0000 Alivoo01 2448717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think that's so cool your daycare "celebrates" CNY!!</p> <p>We'll be going to visit my family this weekend and have new year's dinner Saturday night since we have to head back home Sunday for work on Monday. Gotta prep my lei see soon too! So exciting!! I love New Year's dinner. So good and for food that we normally don't get to have during the year. Yum!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-celebrating-the-lunar-new-year-with-your-los#post-2448706 Thu, 04 Feb 2016 09:16:46 +0000 LovelyPlum 2448706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: how fun that daycare does that!! Have they always, or did you start the tradition? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-celebrating-the-lunar-new-year-with-your-los#post-2448702 Thu, 04 Feb 2016 09:13:44 +0000 regberadaisy 2448702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lunar New Year is Monday, 2/8! </p> <p>Anyone else celebrating with their LOs? We'll be heading to NYC to celebrate with my family. Can't wait for the big feast on Sunday night! Gotta prep my lai sees (red envelopes / lucky money) tomorrow night.</p> <p>Tuesday, I'll be bringing in red envelopes with chocolate coins for all of DD1's preschool friends, something for snack time and probably a book for the class that talks about Lunar New Year. I know they're making paper lanterns on Friday too! </p>
