The celebration begins that day and continues for two weeks.
When I was a kid growing up in San Francisco, CNY was BIG.
Bigger n' Christmas, it was.
Really.
That surprises a lot of people who know me but did not grow up in households that emphasized the importance of this holiday.
Where I live now is quite a bit of a stone's throw from where the bulk of Chinese New Year festivities take place. Every year, this fact always has me feeling a bit out of the celebratory loop.
However.
That doesn't stop me.
From getting excited.
And all geared up and ready
for
some good ol' fashioned ...
