It’s the Year of the Rooster. Here Are 10 Things Only People Who Celebrate Lunar New Year Will Understand

1. How lifting the lid off one of these still gives you a feeling of totally childish joy.

2. How no Chinese mall’s entrance is fully dressed without this inflatable.

3. How this tune can both grate and be deeply comforting at the same time.

4. Rising to the sartorial challenge set by each year’s changing Chinese Zodiac.

5. This song about the inevitable, annual questions from prying relatives on each and every stage of the life cycle.

6. The lure of this date-for-hire app, with its promise to shut family members down. But with festive surge pricing sending daily rates as high as $1,500, your equally mandated great-paying job might actually need to exist.

7. Feeling crazily incomplete without at least one of these on the lawn or patio or balcony.

8. The schadenfreude you feel on seeing someone who’s clearly been coerced into sporting traditional garb.

9. Why this is the most important flowchart you’ll ever come across in your young (or older-but-still-not-rolling-in-it) life.

10. That there’s never been a better year to gift your baby cousin a Rocky Rooster Cabbage Patch doll.

And whatever you’re doing this Lunar New Year, here’s wishing you an amazing and wonderful Year of the Rooster! Cock-a-doodle-doo!
