40 days until Lunar New Year - 2024 is the year of the dragon, specifically the Wood Dragon. The Dragon is probably the most famous of the Chinese Zodiac animals. In 2023, we celebrated the Year of the Water Rabbit, because each animal is also assigned an element.
Wood is associated with springtime and signifies enthusiasm and growth.
Feb 10-24, 2024 - Chinese New Year typically lasts for 15 days, starting on Chinese New Year’s Eve to the Lantern Festival, which is taking place on Saturday, February 24 2024.
The most commonly used calendar in the world – and the one we use – is the Gregorian Calendar, which was introduced by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582. It’s a solar calendar based on a 365-day year, divided into 12 months.
However, Chinese New Year is based on the lunisolar calendar – which is why it’s sometimes called Lunar New Year, too.
Each year, Chinese New Year is celebrated at the second new moon following the Winter Solstice and can fall anywhere between late January 21 and February 20 on the Gregorian Calendar. The Chinese lunar calendar has 12 months and 353 to 355 days. During a leap year it has 13 months and 383 to 385 days.

Jan 22, 1984 - 40th Anniversary - Mac at 40: Apple’s Love Affair With User Experience Sparked a Tech Revolution
When Apple announced the Macintosh personal computer with a Super Bowl XVIII television ad on Jan. 22, 1984, it more resembled a movie premiere than a technology release. The commercial was, in fact, directed by filmmaker Ridley Scott. That’s because founder Steve Jobs knew he was not selling just computing power, storage or a desktop publishing solution. Rather, Jobs was selling a product for human beings to use, one to be taken into their homes and integrated into their lives.

Sh'vat 5784 Chalkboard Teaching by Christine Vales

“for I am watching over My word to accomplish it.”
Jeremiah 1:11-12
Almond in Hebrew "shaqed" comes from the verb "shaqad" which means to watch or wake.

January 23 at 10 a.m. EST - Armageddon: Doomsday Clock to be set in Chicago
For nearly 80 years scientists have indicated how close the world is to global catastrophe using the ‘Doomsday Clock’. The idea began to warn humanity behind the dangers of nuclear war with midnight marking the theoretical point of annihilation. Scientists hope it will alert the public and pressure leaders to make the world a safer place. In 2023, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, based in Chicago, Illinois, set the hands at 90 seconds to midnight, largely because of the war in Ukraine. Now it will meet to decide where to set the hands of the clock for 2024.

Lunar New Year / Chinese New Year
7 day festival / red on doors
It's said that a wise old man figured out that Nian was scared of loud noises (firecrackers) and the color red. So, then people put red lanterns and red scrolls on their windows and doors to stop Nian from coming inside. Crackling bamboo (later replaced by firecrackers) was lit to scare Nian away.
scared away the monster by pasting red papers on doors, burning bamboo to make a loud cracking sound (precursor to firecrackers), lighting candles in the houses, and wearing red clothes.

Colloquial Chinese: 過年; literally: "pass the year" https://en.wikipedia.org/
The Official Holiday — 7 Days
Traditionally the end of the Spring Festival (the Chinese New Year holiday) is the Lantern Festival — Chinese month 1 day 15. Then beautiful lanterns are displayed and sweet rice dumpling soup is eaten.
Feb 5, 2023 - Lantern Festival - https://chinesenewyear.net
Chinese Spring Festival and Jewish Passover have striking similarities, some say the ancestors of the Chinese came from Semitic jews.
Hebrew Passover starts on the 14th day of the Hebrew month, and lasts for seven or eight days. While the Chinese Spring Festival celebrations start from the Chinese New year Eve, the last day of the last lunar month, and continue to the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month.
Someone even believes that the Chinese is the Sinites (希尼人) mentioned in the Bible.
Sinim (希尼, סינים): as a name of a far land of the east from Israel, some version of the Bible translated it as 秦国 (Qin State)
And in modern Hebrew, "Sinim" means "china-men".
While the exact evidence has been lost in long history.
