## What is My Lunar New Year?

You can customize the display with one of the following symbols:
+ Lantern – Hanging a red lantern is believed to drive away bad luck.
+ Kumquat Tree (Citrus japonica) – Symbolizes wishes for wealth and good fortune.
+ Lion – Represents strength, stability, and superiority. A red lion symbolizes good luck, while a yellow lion symbolizes prosperity.
