#LunarNewYear, then #Ramadan, then Lebaran/#Eid, and now #Songkran.

It is just me or does it seem like everyone in #SEAsia has been on some holiday since Feb?

I made this for the year of the snake, and it's my OC, Raajimera from my novel The Snake Queen celebrating!

Canada should recognize celebrations like Eid, Diwali and Lunar New Year as public holidays

A little late, but I put together this little diorama in celebration of #LunarNewYear #YearOfTheSnake.

The Year of the Pig is observed by Vietnamese for Lunar New Year!

Can anyone please recommend a good #manga or #LightNovel series that's set in #China?

I'm doing the #52BookClub #reading #challenge and one of the side quests (so to speak) revolves around #LunarNewYear. While I have ideas for the other two prompts, in the side quest, I'm still looking for one set in China... as a country that celebrates it!

I wrote about how I celebrated Lunar New Year in 2025:

#MakeShitMonday, Lunar New Year edition...

Friday night I joined a virtual dumpling-making party with some West Coast friends, to celebrate Lunar New Year. @mbroome & I did this last year - bought dumpling wrappers, made a lamb & rosemary filling, learned to pleat a classic dumpling fold, and steamed a bunch of deliciousness. Great fun! I am the whitest white girl that ever whited - dumplings are waaaay outside my cooking experience, and it was fantastic to learn from friends.

This year I was flying solo, since @mbroome was off to run Uwharrie. We had leftover dumpling filling from last year, and I had just successfully made both whole-wheat focaccia and whole-wheat pumpkin scones earlier in the week, so I got ambitious and decided to make my own wrappers!

...Way too ambitious. I used AP flour and followed a good recipe, but the dough was way too sticky. And 9pm is really not a smart time to start a challenging kitchen project. So I flailed and got flour everywhere and barely got the dough together enough to wrap around the filling - absolutely no chance of pleats. But my friends were very encouraging, and it was neat to try pan-frying my lumpy creations (best for irregular thickness wrappers, according to my cookbook), and they ended up quite tasty!

(Sadly no photos of the carnage because I was too busy thrashing and spraying flour. So these lovely pics are not at all representative of the overall goat rodeo...)

1977, just like this year, was the Year of the Snake (el año de la serpiente).

Chilean-French rapper Ana Tijoux was born in that year, and
“1977” is an autobiographical song. The video contains images of France where she was born, the daughter of exiles from Chile during the Pinochet dictatorship.

There's been so much #LunarNewYear events & activities around Dublin and the flagship Dublin Lunar New Year Festival event is on today at Temple Bar Meeting Square.

#Cantonese in Ireland will be there as well. You can try on a Tang suit-traditional garment blending past empires' styles. Let’s dress up, paint, and speak Cantonese!
