As 2024 comes to an end, it is time for new goals, resolutions, and aspirations. New Year’s is a holiday many enjoy celebrating with loved ones, often performing superstitions to set a positive tone for the year ahead. However, the deeper, meaningful side of welcoming a new year—like 2025—is sometimes overlooked.
While most of the world celebrates the new year on January 1, others mark the occasion later. For instance, the Chinese New Year won’t take place until January 29, 2025. The event is actually a 15-day festival during which participants engage in various cultural traditions to celebrate the start of a brand-new year. A unique aspect of the Chinese New Year is that each year is represented by a zodiac animal, which can offer insight into what the year might bring.
