Although some Koreans celebrate the change of the Western calendar year, Lunar New Year is way more important. Some say it's the most important holiday of the year. It's a time to show respect for your elder family members, pray for blessings in the new year, and celebrate growing a year older. Koreans change their age at the start of the new year (but usually January 1st), not on their actual birthday. This is a time to be with family, eat traditional foods, and play! Employers tend to give workers gifts to show their appreciation. Mine gave me a shampoo/toiletries set. It was enormous. Check it out.
Cute bag.
This is the set. All kinds of everything!
How much toothpaste can one person use in a year? (Plus, it doesn't have fluoride, so I won't use any of it!)
I do really like this "Black Pearl" shampoo. I like thinking of Johnny Depp when I shower. ;) Haha. Not really. It's made of black beans, which makes me smile.
Another bean product in Korea...
