Lunar New Year is Monday, 2/8!
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.
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!

I think that's so cool your daycare "celebrates" CNY!!
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!!!

@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!
@Alivoo01: I can't wait! I have to bring my "fat" pants. LOL We always do hot pot!

I always go into their school and do a craft project for CNY.
Their Mandarin school does a celebration so we go to that. It's this Saturday.
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.

@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.

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.

So cool that so many schools/DCP celebrate! I think for the first time, schools in NYC are closed to observe the holiday!
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!

@snowjewelz: yes, all schools are closed on Monday! I used to take the first day off all the time and it never counted against me.
Sorry to hear about your LO.
