Absolutely. There are many Christians and Muslims in China, and they all celebrate Chinese New Years. It's an official holiday in China, and most people in offices take the entire week off. It's now an entirely secular holiday, with most people associating it with fireworks, eating dinner with extended family and friends, and watching the big Chinese New Years celebration on TV.

ok, hon, the position to commence? First, Catholics ARE CHRISTIANS! 2d, being excommunicated from the Catholic Church is an excellent deal. It takes time and view. I doubt that everybody interior the Church even knew of you, so I doubt you've been "kicked out" in spite of the truth that in case you probable did not also be attentive to that Catholics ARE CHRISTIANS or maybe what a Christian is, that may help you be attentive to that Catholics are Christians, than in line with probability you'll probable favor to were "kicked out." Secondly, Catholics do no longer use any version of the King James Bible. it somewhat is the Protestant version. finally, what's the enormous take care of celebrating the chinese language New twelve months? you've a sprint bit chinese language food, watch some fireplace crackers and a dragon parade? Does eating chinese language food threaten your faith in Jesus? if so, than it isn't very sturdy, is it? As for absolutely everyone of those different days of social gathering, i have were given on no account celebrated nor even heard of any of them.

Most do, but some of the most zealous ones reject it as un-Christian in the same way that some Christians refuse to celebrate Christmas and other holidays.

They probably do, but Jews and Muslims might have a hard time--we just entered the year of the pig.

Yes. It's more of a cultural thing than anything else. It's a tradition.

Why wouldn't they?
New Year is a cultural, not a religious, holiday.
