The L-Tron team celebrated the Chinese New Year this week
Happy Lunar New Year! We love our quirky company culture and having a team that gives back. Tom, our Operations Manager, sent out a company card to celebrate the Chinese New Year and left some sweet treats on every employee’s desk. Tom’s gifts were very meaningful and symbolic of the holiday. He included a red envelope, in the Chinese tradition of giving. Inside the envelope was $8 – which is a Chinese lucky number. Tom also included an orange (a symbol for prosperity), good luck candy, and chocolate gold coins to start the new year on a sweet note.
A little more about Chinese New Year
Chinese New Year, also called the “spring festival” or lunar new year, is China’s most important festival. Typically, Chinese businesses will shut down for a 7-day holiday. According to the Chinahighlights.com travel guide, the four main activities include;
- Decorating.
- Enjoying reunion dinner with family.
- Fireworks
- Sharing red envelopes and gifts.
There are many public celebrations and traditional performances (such as the commonly seen dragon dance). Symbolically, there are many things individuals can do to promote luck in the coming year, including eating lucky foods, sharing gifts and lighting firecrackers (to scare away any evil).
2019 is the year of the pig.
- The pig is the 12th and last cycle in the Chinese zodiac.
