# Presidential Message on the Lunar New Year, 2025

The White House
January 29, 2025

Melania and I send our warmest greetings to those in the United States and around the world who are celebrating the Lunar New Year.
Our Nation is blessed with a passionate and strong Asian-American community that has made countless contributions to our proud history. For many Americans of Asian heritage, this is a time of rich family traditions. As people gather together for fireworks and parades, The First Lady and I join them in celebrating and welcoming the Year of the Snake.
Traditionally, the snake is associated with wisdom, spirituality, and good fortune. As we begin America’s golden age, I ask God to bless our Nation with these gifts—may this year bring peace, happiness, and success to all.
Happy New Year!
