Flicker & Fortune

[lieryl]

• • • The Lunar New Year has so much meaning, yet all I can ever remember from our celebrations are hearty meals and loving company. Nothing beats wandering the night market with family, tasting delicious foods, and buying silly knickknacks. The only red shirt I owned was not nearly enough to fight the chilly winds, but I wasn't cold. Under the red lights, surrounded by laughter and joy for the new year, I had never felt warmer. • • •

I included Drago and clothing items with dragon designs to represent the Year of the Dragon. Because it is a Wood Dragon year, included many wood elements, such as the wallpaper and many of the furniture items. I included an abundance of food items to represent good fortune and prosperity in the new year.

I set up a lunar new year dinner scene where all my villagers are wearing warm celebratory colours. It's a great time to come together and bond with friends over a meal and festivities such as dancing and drumming!

Here I am with my lucky, golden friends and panda child celebrating the Year of the Dragon, but who invited that bad dragon?? Never fear, for the good dragon Draco will protect us. See him atop the palace! What power!!

While it may be the Year of the Dragon, that doesn't stop Cousteau from cooking up a delicious meal for some of the other signs. He's proud of his restaurant, and delighted to celebrate the Lunar New Year with them!

I based my celebration on our celebration here on TBT and the selfless actions of a particular member willing to sacrifice their riches for every one of their fellow members in their desire to win a wand.
It's truly heart warming to see.

Happy Lunar new year

I wanted to portray the hustle and bustle of the streets of Chinatown in our country, especially during the Lunar New Year. Crowds fill up the already narrow one-way road causing traffic. Don't forget the small stalls and pop-up stores that occupy the sidewalk.

In Britain, we SLAY dragons

If there's a dragon in your life then SLAY it.
If you got a thing to say, then say it.
Got a fly in your soup or a flea in your tea, don't wait around just throw away it.

Had to use one of my other residents because Harv's island on my own account is occupied by various intricate sets that I use for my island journal that would take ages to dismantle and redo

For our Lunar New Year celebration myself and my villagers are out to eat Chinese food (except for Teddy who is stuck working). Everything has been decorated for the occasion with red and gold, as well as chrysanthemums and oranges both which are said to be auspicious. Of course we also have plenty of red envelopes to exchange and lots of bells since we are all so prosperous.

A grand feast is held in the palace during the Lunar New Year. To herald the arrival of the wood dragon, the palace and the gardens were taken to the skies. The New Year feast's dishes were cooked until utmost perfection, and the palace now sits atop a large cloud in the sky that brings guests to a breathtaking view.

Lunar New Year party at the Jade Palace (Or rather... My best attempt at a Jade Palace..)!

[BetsySundrop]

Neighbors Walt and Drago decided to host an outdoor party for everyone, complete with lucky items, food, fireworks, and fortune cookies! (Drago offered eye protection for the fireworks, but Walt graciously declined..."How are we supposed to light them if we can't see the darn things...grumble, grumble...").

I tried to recreate a specific childhood memory of mine when I would have to go with my mom to wushu and taichi practice at the veteran's center (which is just so happen where it was hosted, didn't have anything to do with veterens) I would participate, but I usually would just sit in a corner I could hide in and watch minecraft videos on youtube. I wish I had a sword in-game to include, I always thought the coolest part of Wushu was the swords as a kid. I picked Fauna specifcally because she reminds me of my mom and Billy reminds me of one of her friends from practice. He was a nice old man that would tease me for being shy.

it's tradition for me and my family to say our prayers for the new year. since praying and burning incense is such an important tradition in my family, i wanted to recreate something in the game that showcased that! we always pray for good health, fortune, stability in our work and love life, the wellbeing of our loved ones, and anything else we wish to accomplish in the new year.

Dear mā, bà,
I'm sorry I couldn't come home for the lunar new year; it's been a hectic few weeks and I couldn't leave my work at that. I told my friends of my predicament and didn't think much of it after, but then they texted me last night telling me to "meet us at the usual place at seven". Clad in the little red dress you gave me last lunar new year, I made my way through Chinatown and saw my friends amidst dazzling red lights, festive decorations, and cheers all around. It reminded me so much of home.

Mā, bà, I am so fortunate to have them just as I am fortunate to have you two. I pray for you two to find your fortunes this new year, too.

(Sending some Nián gāo soon!) Love, your little Momo.

I celebrated Lunar New Year this year for the first time ever, and we are lucky to do this in our new neighbourhood in Tokyo

I based my design on the local little festival we had, the food that was served and the temple that is near us, BUT I put a bit of my own spin on it, with the moon, the trees and the fortune ball.

I really love how it came together, and am happy to cherish this memory in IRL and in Animal Crossing now as well

Lunar new year is all about celebrating, feasting and being together with friends and family. I spent a lovely evening with my Bayside family. We had a lovely meal, made plans for the new year. We will always be together on Bayside. Friends and family stick together no matter what.

We were all wearing our lovely new lucky red outfits and after dinner we went outside to party on the beach and kicked off our red shoes and got sand between our toes. Perfect

Happy new year! Look forward to celebrating next year with my tbt family
