Gung Hay Fat Choy!
Gung Hay Fat Choy ! Happy Chinese New Year! It’s the year of the Rat!
Once again, it is the time of the year where all the Chinese around the world celebrate our lunar new year. It’s a time for cleaning house, repaying debts, enjoying feasts, giving out “laisee” packets (red envelopes that hold gifts of money), remembering ancestors, celebrating and renewing family ties. Similar to Thanksgivings, everyone goes home on New Year's Eve - at home with their families/relatives eating traditional foods and watching the traditional variety Chinese show- at least we did when we were younger.
=) Happy New year all!
