Lunar New Year 2015 ♪ (Chinese music throughout the video) ♪ Hi. My name is Christopher and I am nine years old. My mom took me here <i>to check out the Lunar New Year.</i> My name is Ellen and I am eight years old. Every time there's a New Year, there's a different animal coming up. This year is the sheep. Hi, I'm Tessa and I'm nine years old. <i>The color of the Lunar New Year is red.</i> <i>So I used a lot of red</i> and I did a lot of designs that I learned. Hello, my name is Angel. <i>I'm ten years old. There are so many things going on.</i> <i>They have different types of tea.</i> We got to see the puppet show. My favorite part <i>was when we got to see the puppets up close, and touch them.</i> Hi, I'm Heather. I live in New York City and we come every year to the Met <i>for the Lunar New Year festival.</i> <i>I go with my daughter and my nephew, and what they get to do</i> is to experience Chinese New Year <i>in an art setting that's beautiful.</i> <i>They do many different activities,</i> <i>and it's nice to incorporate the importance of art,</i> <i>and how it relates to our culture.</i> I like learning about other cultures. (Little girls speaking Chinese) ♪ (Chinese music) ♪ How will you celebrate?
