The Year of the Rabbit is hopping off! But if you're in Vietnam, it's the Year of the Cat.
"The traditions of the Lunar New Year festival date back thousands of years to a popular legend. A mythical beast called Nian was known to show up each Lunar New Year’s eve and terrorize people and livestock," the company added."Loud noises, the color red and fire scared Nian away, so it became a tradition for families to decorate their doors in red paper, set off fireworks and leave lanterns burning all night.
This version of the Lunar New Year 2023 Google Doodle was created for Vietnam to mark the beginning of the Year of the Cat.
