Today is the New Year throughout many asian countries, which many of us call is the Chinese New Year. So Happy New Year! I have included some information (or websites) about the Korean New Year below. Hopefully, we will get to celebrate the New Year next year with a new baby.
The 2008 Lunar New Year celebration (Seol) is this week, February 6-8.
2008 is the year of the Rat, which in Asian tradition protects and spreads prosperity. Along with Chusok (the fall harvest festival), Seol is the most important of traditional Korean holidays.
