Happy Lunar New Year! :D
What is Seollal?
Korean Lunar New Year consists of three main things: Food, Ancestrial Rites,Gifts and Games.
As parents and siblings drift apart due to work, school, marriage, and other obligations, Seollal brings the family back together for a time of respect of happiness. The people of South Korea often receive time off to celebrate the five-day holiday. During this time, people will spend happy moments with their relatives while they rest for the New Year.
Seollal is known for its large feast of traditional Korean food. One of the main dishes during this holiday is tteokguk. Tteokguk is a soup made of beef, vegetables, egg, and rice cakes.
On the morning of the Seollal holiday, family members off ancestral rites to their deceased relatives. These rites are relatively humble, but they usually consist of simple ritual foods and good prayers. During the day of Seollal, it is common for people celebrating the holiday to play games with each other. One of the most popular games is yutnori. Yutnori is a board game played with sticks and has fairly simple rules. It can be played in teams, so all members of the family can engage in some fun competition to reconnect during the New Year holiday
Gift giving has become a major aspect of the Seollal holiday in South Korea. While the types of gifts given will vary depending on financial situations, individual preference, and family traditions, there are some gifts that are standard for the holiday. Nowadays, some of the most frequently gifted presents include money and gift cards to department stores and shops. Children often give gifts like ginseng and health products to their parents. Other popular gift choices include toiletries, sweets, fish, and fruit.
