I think the celebration of the lunar new year is great. The lion and dragon dances are very colorful and exciting. The celebrations are family oriented and seem to celebrate life in a much more meaningful way than the traditional western celebration where everyone just gets plastered.

Why can't they have the same New Year as the rest of us.:)

Soho in London has a big celebration as I imagine all Chinatown's worldwide do. Would be great to go to Hong Kong and see it. At least you get to know what animal year it is.

Growing up in a chinese-american household, Chinese New Year was pretty tedious; we'd do a show at what was basically an old folk's home as "community service". The erratic gongs and drums didn't suit me well then. Now, I don't mind it as much. Of course, this isn't a holiday for everyone (by the way, what's the deal with people being so uptight over it? No one's forcing you to celebrate it, why do you people care so much about what other people do when it doesn't concern you?).

Big Baby & Sfalconer deserve the biggest bigot award. BigBaby complains about the Japs taking over television & believes that America should not celebrate a Communist holiday like Chinese New Year. Sfalconer wonders why the Chinese Americans don't celebrate the same holiday. It is obvious that these racists have zero knowledge of Chinese New Year. First of all, Asian Americans are not Communist. My Best friend is a Chinese American & Gulf War Veteran. NO MAO ties here..This is most diverse country in the world. Everybody celebrate different holidays like Hanukah and Kwanzaa. Why do Asians celebrate Chinese New Year? This holiday symbolizes family unity and honors the past and present generations. Sorry for the long rant, but bigots piss me off.
