5 years ago

  In Asian countries such as Korea or China, We have our own 설날 New Year's day by 음력 the Lunar Calendar! the day is different for 양력 Solar Calendar every year. This year the Lunar New Year is on 12th Feb.
 In my Home Country, South Korea. We usually visit our Grand Parents and Families, and Cousins and eat 떡국 Tteokguk(a traditional Korean soup with sticky rice cake(mostly known for Mochi, 떡 teok in Korean.)
Also, we do 세배 Bow for older family members, and they give younger ones pocket money for it and gives 덕담 blessing words for the new year!
And we do 차례 which is a memorial ceremony for our ancestors.
After that, we play some games, and the most popular and traditional one is 윷놀이 Yut-game.
What is your Traditional Holiday 명절? and what do you do on that day?

새해 복 많이 받으세요! Happy Lunar New Year!
