I'm a Sunday school teacher at the Korean church that my family is attending. This year, we wanted to do something fun for the kids to celebrate the Chinese New Year and at the same time teach them about the Korean culture and traditions. So we had friends send us little "bok jumoni" (traditional purses) from Korea and filled them with Korean candies, the children did "sae-bae" to the adults and learned how to make man-doo.
The kids loved it and really enjoyed eating their own man-doo. It was great watching them because we never did such things at church when I was young. Sean and Will now ask me to make man-doo all the time (I usually buy the frozen ones at the Korean grocery store. I know, I'm a bad mom but they are SO good!).
Do you celebrate the Chinese New Year? If yes, what did you do this year?
