The American New Year falls on January 1st of the Chinese calendar, which is New Year's Day.
But Chinese people are used to celebrating the Lunar New Year. If there is a local Chinatown, there will often be celebrations during the Lunar New Year. Other Chinese or students will also have simple dinner parties to celebrate. .
However, the United States and other European and American countries do not pay special attention to the Chinese New Year. In many cases, it is just a countdown activity.
Relatively speaking, they will pay more attention to festivals such as Christmas, Easter and Thanksgiving (many of which are related to religion, mainly Catholicism.)
On the eve of the new year People gather in squares, churches, parties. When the clock strikes 12 o'clock at midnight, people hug and kiss excitedly to welcome the new year.
In addition, Christmas, December 25th, is the largest and most lively holiday in the United States. This is the time of year when everyone exchanges gifts, cards, catches up with old friends and says hello. Dazzlingly decorated Christmas trees can be seen everywhere, shops are crowded with people buying gifts, and the country is immersed in a warm and festive atmosphere.
