Chinese New Year in 2018, also known as Lunar New Year and Spring Festival, begins on February 16th and ends March 2nd. This is the year of the Dog; the most defining characteristic is their loyalty. They will never abandon friends, family or work.

I honestly don’t remember a lot of the traditions we used to do when I was a kid. But even if traditions change, being together as a family has always been the most important part.

Tired of Baby Shower games? Start decorating blocks for the baby instead. My friend and coworker was expecting and it came time for us to plan a baby shower for her at work.
