it's also because there are other New Year days for different Asian countries. not everyone goes by the same lunar calendar as the Chinese. i believe Japan and Cambodia celebrate at different times. and also, since most of the world tends to go by the Gregorian calender, it'd be pretty Amerocentric (is that a word?) to call it American New Year. i do think more and more people are tending to call it Lunar New Year, though.kissboi wrote:Happy Chinese New Year!!!
(dont know why we say "chinese" though... cause americans dont say Happy American New Years!!!)

Happy lunar new year to people who celebrate it!
Actually, I used "Chinese" because it's the the new year of the Chinese lunar calendar. Jewish and Indian both have lunar calendars (maybe others too) and their new years are different. Whereas whoever celebrates this one celebrates it due to Chinese influencehabukie wrote:it's also because there are other New Year days for different Asian countries. not everyone goes by the same lunar calendar as the Chinese. i believe Japan and Cambodia celebrate at different times. and also, since most of the world tends to go by the Gregorian calender, it'd be pretty Amerocentric (is that a word?) to call it American New Year. i do think more and more people are tending to call it Lunar New Year, though.kissboi wrote:Happy Chinese New Year!!!
