To get into the true spirit of the Chinese New Year, think symbolism. The holiday, which lasts 15 days in China, celebrates spring, prosperity and good health. In 2012, it’s the year of the dragon.

Fresh Start
Welcome new beginnings with blooming spring bulbs, flowering branches of forsythia or pussy willow, or sprouting bamboo in vases.

Lucky Colors
Decorate in red and gold for luck: Red linens, gold ribbons crisscrossed on the table and gold candles.

Good Fortune
Make fortunes and hand them out to each guest with dessert. Or have guests pick one from a basket.
