It has been a tradition for the Chinese to celebrate the lunar new year by getting the whole family together. In some countries, the holidays can stretch for an entire week. Many buy new clothes for this event. The New Year's Eve feast is massive and encourages overeating. Below are some of the more interesting photos I have received from social media posted by my friends or their relatives. I have selected some of the ones that I like best. Wishing everyone a Happy and Prosperous Lunar New Year!
