1
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:08,160
Speaker 1: Surprise. Why are you blessing confetti all over me? Cali?

2
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:12,119
Speaker 1: He's still a want over thanky poppers. But New Year's

3
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:18,640
Speaker 1: we should celebrate. But it's not New Year's anymore? Do

4
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:22,759
Speaker 1: you mean we have to wait a whole year to

5
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 1: celebrate New Year's again? That's no fun. I don't want

6
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 1: to wait.

7
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 2: Maybe we don't have to.

8
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: Welcome to Stories for Kids by Lingo Kids, where we

9
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: discover fascinating facts about the world around us and the

10
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 1: fun of play learning. This is our first episode of

11
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, perfect timing to learn about different kinds

12
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,480
Speaker 1: of New Year's celebrations. Do people celebrate the new year

13
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,520
Speaker 1: on the same day? Can we make our own celebration?

14
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: Let's find out? Why would we wait a lot to celebrate?

15
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: Recom many now? Because New Year's Day is about celebrating

16
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:09,320
Speaker 1: the new year. It's all about celebrating a fresh start.

17
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 1: This year has to end first to celebrate the beginning

18
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: of the next year.

19
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,919
Speaker 3: How many more months do we have to wait?

20
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: Twelve months? That's right, Elliott, there are twelve months in

21
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: a year. That's a long time. That's true, Billy. Not

22
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: everyone celebrates New Year's on the same day. You mean

23
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: people celebrate it whenever they want.

24
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 2: Well, not exactly.

25
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: Not everyone uses the same calendar to count the days. Huh.

26
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: We can pick our own calendar.

27
00:01:54,800 --> 00:02:00,040
Speaker 3: I what they calendar of pictures of puppies, I won't want.

28
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 2: Because of fruits. I don't mean calendars with different pictures.

29
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: What I mean is that people count the days and

30
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 1: months of the year in different ways, and the seasons too.

31
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: I'm still confused, Billy. On what day and month do

32
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: you celebrate New Year's Day? January first? That's because you

33
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 1: use a calendar called the Gregorian calendar, which celebrates the

34
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 1: new year on the first of January. For some, the

35
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: new year might start when spring arrives, with flowers blooming

36
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: and everything becoming fresh and new. I love spring, we

37
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: do all the pretty flours and foods.

38
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 2: Then you would love no ruse.

39
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: The Persian New Year, it's celebrated in March on the

40
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: first day of spring. That's only a few months away. Calie,

41
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: we can use your confetti boppers. Then, er, it's still

42
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: too far. What about showing these New year?

43
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:01,119
Speaker 2: That's right.

44
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,239
Speaker 1: It's also called Lunar New Year. People in many different

45
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 1: countries celebrate lunar New Year, not just China, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore,

46
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:15,839
Speaker 1: the Philippines and many more. Oh why did they call

47
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 1: it Lunar New Year? Because the people who celebrate it

48
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 1: follow a calendar based on the cycles of the moon. Oh,

49
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: a moon calendar.

50
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 2: I love the bit. Yeah, it's called a lunar calendar.

51
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: Great, let's celebrate thing Lunar New Year. When do we start?

52
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: Billy is right, according to his calculations, it will fall

53
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: on February tenth this year.

54
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 2: What do you mean this year?

55
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: Isn't it the same every year? Actually, one of the

56
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: cool things about the Lunar New Year is that it

57
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: falls on a different date sometime between January and February.

58
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: Is that because of the moon exactly, Lisa. It depends

59
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: on the moon and the seasons. When winter is almost

60
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: over and there's a new moon in the sky, it's

61
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: time for the lunar New Year. And there are many

62
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: other New Year's celebrations all around the world. So it's

63
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 1: like different people having their own party when they think

64
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: it's the right time for a new beginning.

65
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 3: I like that party's all year round.

66
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 2: It's a nice reminder that there are so many people with.

67
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,359
Speaker 1: Different cultures, each with their unique traditions and beautiful ways

68
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 1: to celebrate.

69
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 3: But none of these days are soon enough. I just

70
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 3: want to celebrate searing anything as long as I can put.

71
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 3: Michael thing, why don't we make our own celebration?

72
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 2: I don't see why not. What should we celebrate good fing? Well,

73
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 2: maybe we can think of something more than confetti.

74
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,840
Speaker 1: A holiday celebration usually has a nice meaning or story

75
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 1: behind it, any ideas well. We did learn a lot

76
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: about different kinds of New Year celebrations. I didn't even

77
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: know people use different calendars.

78
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, we can celebrate learning about different calendars.

79
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,119
Speaker 1: I like that the day of the calendar a day

80
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,919
Speaker 1: to celebrate different calendars around the world and learn about

81
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: how people.

00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 2: Organize the year and celebrate in different ways.

83
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: Yay day in the calendar? What celebrate? Okay? Brewing out

84
