Sarah helped us celebrate a very happy Chinese New Year. Her mother visited Philadelphia to get special sweet treats to share with the children. The Chinese New Year lasts two weeks and can take place in January or February. Families usually clean their houses before the New Year and decorate with lots of flowers. It is good luck if a flower blooms in your house during this day. People enjoy setting off firecrackers and having parades. This year is the year of the snake!
