Many countries all over the world celebrate the New Year holiday. In China, it is a very happy time.
Chinese people think it is the most important time of the year. There are parades in the streets, and families
gather for big dinners. At these dinners, children get lucky money in red envelopes as their good grade and
achievements during the last year. Before the New Year, the Chinese people always clean their houses to clean out bad luck. Everything must be fresh and clean as they think that they will have a happy new year. People also make sure that they have paid all their bills. It is important to start a New Year without owning anyone’s money. Different from Chinese, in Thailand, people hold Water Festival. The festival takes place everywhere in the country but especially popular in the north. Water Festival takes place in the middle of April every year. It is a part of the Thai New Year. People throw buckets of water on each other. There are even parades where people throw water. It is especially important to throw water on older people. It shows respect to them.
