But in fact, the Chinese-speaking world has its own big Lunar New Year celebration (in 2021, it's 12 February), and so while much of the rest of the planet makes a big deal out of New Year's Eve tonight, for many of the nearly 1½ billion inhabitants of this vast country, it simply isn't all that much of a thing.

Thanks!

Dear Ms. McCoy,

i see that you are from Philly... I spent 10 years in Abington and both my children were born there. And how i miss Philly!

I have just upload a few pictures including the one i think people should see.
It only shows that we are still luckier than some and can achieve anything if we set our mind to it.

I hope you will make it one day to the top there and share a picture with all of us. Wishing you the best!

regards
Nayaz
