Happy Chinese New Year-
The Year of the Dragon!



This video was 
really informative. 
How will you be 
celebrating 
the Chinese 
New Year? 



I found a great website HERE, at Chinese Fortune Calendar.com.  It had a lot of interesting info on Chinese Astrology, and it said this:
 "Chinese New Year Day is the first day of the first lunar month of Chinese calendar year. The Chinese new year day is always between January 20 to February 20 of the Gregorian calendar each year.
The preparation to celebrate the Chinese New Year festival begins around 8th day of 12th lunar month. The last day of the Chinese New Year festival is on the 15th day of first lunar month. That means it required about three weeks to prepare the festival and 15 days to celebrate it. 
Traditionally, a Chinese man works outside for living and his wife takes care everything inside home. A month is not long enough for a housewife to clean entire house, put new interior and exterior decoration, prepare new clothes and gifts for all family members, and food for many events. You can image that Chinese New Year festival combines Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year Day together."

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
