It\u2019s that time of the year with Chuseok, (the Korean Harvest Moon Festival) right around the corner.<\/p>\n

In 2018, Chuseok holiday falls on Monday September 24th.\u00a0 The day after is also celebrated as a National Holiday.<\/p>\n

Koreans, as many agrarian cultures, once followed the lunar calendar, but in recent history, they have deferred to the solar calendar in line with international practice.<\/p>\n

While public holidays are based on the solar calendar, there are a few days that are celebrated based on the lunar calendar.<\/p>\n

These are the two most important traditional holidays, the Korean New Year\u2019s Day<\/a> (the first day of the first lunar month) and the Chuseok mid-autumn festival (fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month).<\/p>\n

In mass, and I mean a substantial part of the population travel.\u00a0\u00a0For many this is back to their home villages. Over the holiday they perform ancestral rituals at the graves of relatives as well as share time with their family over traditional foods.\u00a0Others opt to travel overseas or a popular trend has been staycations in luxury hotels.<\/p>\n

For\u00a0your\u00a0Korean\u00a0colleagues\u00a0(in\u00a0Korea)<\/strong>,\u00a0you\u00a0can\u00a0wish\u00a0them a happy Chuseok\u00a0by Facebook Messenger,\u00a0phone,\u00a0text, or\u00a0email this coming Thursday September 20 after 4 PM (Friday AM in Korea).<\/p>\n

Again, for most Koreans the holiday break will begin Friday at the end of day through Tuesday September 25.\u00a0Some may take more days off that week.<\/p>\n

For\u00a0expat\u00a0Koreans\u00a0working outside Korea<\/strong>, you\u00a0can\u00a0wish\u00a0then happy\u00a0Chuseok\u00a0on the holiday, Monday September 24 .<\/p>\n

If you\u2019d like to try, here’s a common greeting.<\/p>\n

Chuseok jal ji nae sae yo.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Even though many things have been changed by Korea\u2019s rapid industrialization, urbanization, and globalization we find in the celebration of Chuseok that family remains one of the bedrock of Korean society.<\/p>\n
