This Friday
Last year's Chinese New Year was on a different day than this year's because our western (Gregorian) calendar clashes (doesn't match) with the Chinese Lunar Calendar. Thus, Chinese New Year is never on the same day every year.
The Chinese New Year runs from the new moon on the first day of their new year to the full moon 15 days later. It lasts for 15 days. On the first day we eat dumplings. The last day we eat yuanxiao.
You need a Chinese lunar calendar
Usually Chinese New Year is last for 15 days,but public holiday is for 1st and 2nd day of Chinese New Year only. The 9th day of Chinese New Year is the most celebrated among Chinese in Penang and Johore as birthday of "Tian Gong"
They wear it on Chinese New Years. :]
Feb. 3rd is Chinese New Years Day - the first day of the Chinese lunar calendar.
chinese don't really celebrate christmas and the closest they get is chinese new years.
January the first, idiot!
On new years day, for them it is the year we were currently in. Some calenders show the day for the Chinese new year... which sometimes varies each year.
December 31 is the last day of the year. January 1 (new years day) is the first day of a new year

- It is the last day of the year - last day of December - ... And/Or New Years Eve!!!
