Ringing in the rabbit.
New Years Eve and New Years Day are modern holidays celebrating the end of one year and beginning of another. In Korea, 설날 (Seolnal) is the traditional version of the same thing. Before implementing the Gregorian calendar, societies worldwide relied on a simpler measurement of time; the moon cycles. Generations of Koreans gather to celebrate the Lunar New Year by preparing food, giving gifts, and sometimes dressing in 한복 (Hanbok) traditional Korean clothes.
