새해 복 많이 받으세요! Happy Lunar New Year!

It's 설날 (Seollal)! Happy Year of the Horse!*

The Lunar (or Korean) New Year is one of the biggest holidays in the country. It was also the first one I experienced, except I was so new I had no idea what was happening -- my experience was more like Sis. Kerry Jo's here!

There are all kinds of traditional games that they play and traditional foods that they eat. And of course it's a time to visit family -- there's also a tradition of children bowing to their parents to honor them...and to get little gifts!

Enjoy your new year. Party safely!

*Is that a good omen for Denver?
