Chinese New Year Decorations
Chinese New Year decorations really bring the festivity to a Chinese New Year Theme Party. The Chinese New Year is celebrated some time between January 17 and February 19, at the time of the new moon, and it is called Yuan Tan. It is celebrated by Chinese people all over the world, and street parades are an exciting part of their New Year. At the Festival of Lanterns thousands of lanterns are used to light the way for the New Year. The Chinese people believe that there are evil spirits around at New Year, so they let off firecrackers to frighten the spirits away. Sometimes they seal their windows and doors with paper to keep the evil spirits out. You can decorate your party area with Chinese New Year Supplies like paper lanterns with Glow Sticks (for safety).
