The Lunar New Year is celebrated primarily by people of Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Tibetan and Mongolian heritage in many parts of the world. Parades, parties and other special events are common.
In the United States as elsewhere, the occasion is marked in various ways across many cultures. Foods considered lucky foods are eaten—kumquats, such as those depicted in the stamp art, for example—and given as gifts.
People born in the lunar new year associated with a particular animal and are said to share characteristics with that animal. Individuals born during the Year of the Rabbit are said to be cautious, mannerly and sensitive. They are also thought of as lucky. Famous people born in the Year of the Rabbit include film director Francis Ford Coppola, athlete Michael Jordan and actress Drew Barrymore.
