Here are a few ways you can celebrate the Lunar New Year in the Year of the Monkey.
1. Prepare a Lunar New Year feast fit for the Monkey King.
2. Bring on the firecrackers, lion dancers, floral arrangements, and dancing monkeys.
3. Don't forget the candy and treats!
4. If you're lucky, you'll get lots of money-filled red envelopes, also called lì xì (Vietnamese), hóng bāo (Mandarin), lai see (Cantonese), or ang bao.
But remember — the Lunar New Year is a time to celebrate and monkey around!
Happy Lunar New Year!
