Chinese New Year this year is on February 10th, 2013. This important traditional Chinese holiday lasts for 15 days! And each day has different festivities and customs depending on where you are from. We have combined these traditions and put them into a parody of "12 Days of Christmas", called "15 Days of Chinese New Year". Have a Happy and Prosperous Chinese New Year!

And some of the customs that we mention may not be what all Chinese around the world celebrate, this song contains a mix of traditions from Southern China, Northern China and other Chinese diasporas around the world.

Lyrics: On the first day of Chinese New Year, My family gave to me Lots of red pocket money On the second day of Chinese New Year, In my family Married daughters visit (Dan: What?) And get lots of red pocket money On the third day of Chinese New Year In my family Nobody visits people Get fortunes told And get lots of red pocket money On the fourth day of Chinese New Year In my family Eat Spring dinners Go back to work If your job is crappy And get lots of red pocket money On the fifth day of Chinese New Year In my family Eat dumplings!!!! ~~ For good luck But not visit family It's bad luck And get lots of red pocket money On the seventh day of Chinese New Year In my family It's everybody's birthday And a goddess made humans ~~ You eat fish and noodles Unless you are Buddhist Then you get no meat And get lots of red pocket money On the eight day of Chinese New Year In my family We eat dinner again Almost Jade Emperor's Birthday People go back to work! Nooo!! ~~ Bosses buy you lunch You eat more Tummy's getting round And get lots of red pocket money On the ninth day of Chinese New Year In my family It's Jade Emperor's Birthday People offer prayers With sugarcanes Or tea, incense and fruit~~~ Roast pig Or gold paper It all works And get lots of red pocket money On the thirteenth day of Chinese New Year In my family No more food coma You go vegetarian To clean out your stomach From eating for two weeks And celebrate the God of War ~~ Who was a Chinese general Named Guan Yu Won a hundred wars And get lots of red pocket money On the fifteenth day of Chinese New Year In my family It's lantern festival Eat rice balls And Light up candles If you're South East Asian Find a boyfriend Write down your number~~ On a mandarin Chuck it in a river And hope a guy will call you And get lots of red pocket money On the days we skipped of Chinese New Year In my family We probably just eat Eat, talk and eat Lion dance and fireworks Talk, eat and eat Eat, talk and eat Chill, watch TV Talk, eat and eat Visit family And did we say eat?~~ Eat, eat and eat With family Or without And get lots of red pocket money!
