Get ready to see red. A new year NOT on New Year's Day, which holiday is celebrated in many Asian countries?

From China to Vietnam, from Singapore to Malaysia, many countries that follow lunar calendars celebrate Lunar New Year. Being that the lunar calendar is variable compared to our standard calendar, Lunar New Year can fall anywhere from January to April or September or November. Most often, though, it falls in February or April. Cultural customs vary, but fireworks, traditional foods, costumed parades, and the giving of red envelopes filled with money are common practices.
