The Lunar New Year (LNY) \u2014 also known as Chinese New Year or Spring Festival \u2014 marks the first new moon of the lunisolar calendars that are traditionally used in many east Asian countries, including China, Singapore, Korea, and Vietnam. It is one of the most significant and vibrant celebrations around the world.<\/p>\n

With Adobe\u2019s upcoming Global Day Off falling on the first day of LNY, employees around the world shared their own traditions and how they\u2019ll be celebrating this year.<\/p>\n

Year of the Ox and Festive Decorations<\/h3>\n

February 12 marks the beginning of the Year of the Ox, the second animal on the Chinese zodiac, bringing a renewed source of strength and resilience to the year ahead.<\/p>\n

\"Food<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cEvery LNY, I would stroll down Chinatown to enjoy the massive lantern displays. This year even with the beautiful Ox displays, the streets were quieter and stalls empty. I\u2019m missing the Adobe Lion Dance and big loud cheering during Yusheng \u2014 a uniquely Singaporean tossing of fresh vegetables and raw fish for good luck.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014 Vincent Chia, DME enterprise account executive, Singapore<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

\u201cThe \u2018Chun Lian\u2019 (Spring Couplet), also known as \u2018a pair of antithetical phrases,\u2019 is a special form of literature in China. Often written with black or gold ink on red paper, these couplets are traditionally pasted on the sides of the front door and above the door frame as LNY decorations and wishes for happiness and a good year ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014 Enno Zhong, senior solutions consultant, Guangzhou, China<\/strong><\/p>\n

Auspicious Tunes, Red Envelopes, and Family Gatherings<\/h3>\n

\u201cNothing quite like the blasting of festive tunes at the malls and supermarkets to remind us that LNY is \u2018round the corner! Here\u2019s us singing one of our favorites called \u201cHe Xin Nian (\u8d3a\u65b0\u5e74)\u201d \u2014 a song wishing all a happy new year.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014 Angela Lee, JAPAC lifecycle marketing specialist & Joyce Neo, APAC marketing manager, Singapore<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI always looked forward to receiving Hongbao from my parents. It\u2019s a red envelope with money inside for good luck. Now my dog, Burger, gets Hongbao treats too.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014 Zihan Miao, customer insights manager, San Francisco, U.S.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cMy family would spend hours together, baking trays of pineapple tarts for friends and relatives. Mom\u2019s recipe is the best!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014 Clarissa Nah, marketing manager, Singapore<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cLunar New Year is a really special time for me, as my family gets together to celebrate my Grandmother and treat her with new clothes, flowers and her favorite food!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014 Zara Un, EMEA e-commerce manager, London, UK<\/strong><\/p>\n

Food, Glorious Food<\/h3>\n

Food is the heart of LNY. While the family reunion dinner on LNY eve is the most significant meal of the celebrations, holiday feasting often starts weeks before and lasts through the first 15 days of LNY. For our employees, we\u2019ll be hosting a Lunar New Year Celebration and Cooking Demonstration on February 18! We can\u2019t wait to celebrate with everyone virtually!<\/p>\n

\u201cMy wife\u2019s family typically mixes the Asian must-haves (roast pig) with the Australian (sashimi and oysters) \u2014 it becomes a very fusion plate.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014 William Leung, Japan & APAC, head of acquisitions and search marketing, Sydney, Australia<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Franklin<\/p>\n

\u201cLNY for me means a big family gathering with each household bringing dishes; wearing red and new clothes signifying a new year and a fresh start; and handing out red envelopes to the kids.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014 Franklin Tjhin, APAC search marketing manager, Sydney, Australia<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Dan<\/p>\n

\u201cFor LNY, we would prepare \u2018Dan Jiao\u2019 \u2014 egg wrap with seasoned pork, which symbolizes \u201ctreasures of gold,\u201d and \u2018Jiu Niang Tang\u2019 \u2014 sweet wine-rice soup with small rice balls symbolizing \u201cfamily reunion and perfection.\u201d This year, to commemorate the Year of the Ox, we will have a beef dish too.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014 Chloe Wang, executive assistant, Shanghai, China<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cross-culture Celebration<\/h3>\n

\u201cSpecial greetings in Korean, French, and English!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014 Hyojin Shin, marketing manager, Seoul, South Korea<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are celebrating LNY in a special way this year. Our 10-year-old daughter was selected as a young ambassador to represent the U.S at the Silk Road Children\u2019s Emissary in China, which is being broadcast to over 82 countries. Makenna was chosen because of her singing ability and her relationship as the great great niece of Helen Foster Snow, a journalist from Utah who was nominated twice for the Nobel Peace Prize for her contributions to modern Chinese history in the 1930s.\u201d<\/p>\n
