It’s “Lunar New Year” now. Of course, there are many lunar calendars with differing starts of the year but let’s just pave over that to Frankenstein together some generic nonspecific holiday because Gyna bad.

You certainly have one of the strangest takes I’ve ever seen a person make.
Don’t pass off your granddad’s lived experience off as your own lol. It doesn’t do anything to strengthen your argument besides making you look cringe in an effort to look authentic.
By your standards, Shogatsu is a different festival now that the date changed from the lunisolar calendar to the Gregorian. Obviously it’s the same holiday tradition that is celebrated on a different date! I don’t see how you’re being so obstinate when it is crystal clear. People are not celebrating some calendar date, they are celebrating their traditional new year celebration that has been practiced for more than a millenia.
That’s my point exactly, nobody goes around saying “Happy Japanese New Years” on Jan 1st, because the Japanese are just celebrating Gregorian new years like everybody else. Them celebrating it the way they used to celebrate Japanese new years in the past didn’t change that. Likewise with Russians, them carrying over traditions from celebrating Julian New Years doesn’t mean they celebrate a different holiday from Jan 1st.
One of my grandparents being raised by Chinese Koreans is more relevant than you knowing a random Chinese Korean guy lmao.
I see that we just have different definitions of what constitutes a holiday and it’s useless arguing. But I will maintain that the point of a New Years celebration is to celebrate the New Year. If any holiday is dependent on the Calendar its based off of then it would be New Years.
