Chinese New Year Traditions Change Sometimes.
That is the case for our family during this year, the year of the dog.
Of course, Chinese New Year traditions change sometimes but there are also wonderful traditions that should stand the test of time.
I love this holiday for all the joy it brings and for all that it represents. If you would like to learn to learn more about the exact traditions then I believe you will enjoy this article.
As for my family and how things have changed this year…
Two of my three wonderful kids are too far away to eat the traditional meal with us.I would love to sit across the table from them. However, I am not really one to dwell on what I can’t have due to the fact that I do my best to look on the positive side of things.
I look forward to a wonderful Chinese New Year dinner with my hubby and our younger son.
We will eat traditional foods such as noodles to represent a long life and we will proudly give him lucky money.
The hubby and I will reflect on how our family has grown and changed over the years. We will count our blessings and be grateful for our life.
Over the weekend, the hubby and I will continue the Chinese New Year celebration as we enjoy our Valentine’s vacation.
I wish for you to have a very Happy Chinese New Year and a long and wonderful life. Click To Tweet

That is wonderful to hear. Thank you.
What a fun family tradition to look forward to each year.
Traditions are such a great part of life.
I love celebrating special days within different cultures. They give you a sense of belonging to that culture. My husband is from Colombia, so we celebrate many different ways than the culture we live in. Awesome.
I look forward to learning more about your husband’s culture.
I loved learning about your family traditions! Change can be tough, especially when you love having your loved ones close.
Sending love from Austria,

Thank you. Changes sure can be tough but I am doing my best. It is all any of us can do, right?
Chinese New Year looks like so much fun! I hope you and your family had an amazing celebration.
Thank you. We definitely enjoyed it even though it was different than before.
Thanks for sharing about Chinese New Year traditions! This coming year is a year of change for us – 3 of our children are getting married and 1 is expecting a baby. Exciting times!
Those are huge changes and very exciting times. Congratulations.
So much season of change going on. You are such an amazing mom and woman, Elise! It must be joyous to have your children move on for their lives, but yet bittersweet so to speak especially when you have such a close family.
Happy New Year.
Thank you. BIttersweet is the perfect wording for the situation. <3
Gung Hee Fat Choi! We also burn fireworks to chase the bad spirits away, and eat GAO. May the year of the dog be good to you and your family!
Thank you so much. Fireworks are a big no-no by my house 🙁
We have been in a season of change as well. With my daughter out of the house, we have just had our younger son at home. It has definitely meant some changes but not all bad. I especially love this “The hubby and I will reflect on how our family has grown and changed over the years. We will count our blessings and be grateful for our life.”
We have been doing this as well. Life gets really challenging sometimes but it helps to remember and be grateful for our blessings. Thank you!
It is good to hear from you and of your experience. Life changes for all of us…
I’m half-Chinese but we never really go all out for New Year’s. Maybe that will be something to do when our daughter is older!
It is a very fun way to share tradition.
