We call Chinese New Year “the Spring Festival”. It is in January or February. There is a name for each Chinese year. We may call it the Year of the Tiger, the Year of the Monkey or the Year of the Pig. Before Chinese New Year, people are busy shopping and cleaning their houses. On New Year’s Eve(除夕夜), there is a big family dinner. After dinner, all the family stay up late to welcome Chinese New Year.
