Are you ready to ring in the Year of the Pig? Chinese New Year starts on February 5th this year and is one of my very favorite holidays. It’s simple, it’s not commercial and it lets you get a little taste of a culture that might not be one you’re super familiar with. We didn’t celebrate (and were not even very aware) of Chinese New Year (AKA Lunar New Year) until we adopted our two boys from China. It’s something we like celebrating to keep their birth culture alive and we’ve come to really look forward to the holiday…mostly because of eating, let’s be real.
