Happy Chinese New Year!

Happy Chinese NewYear of the Golden Boar!

Chinese New Year is February 18th this year.

Xin Nian kuai Le!! (Happy New Year!!) [pronounced in Mandarin: Shin nee-an Kwai Luh]
Gong Xi Fa Cai (wishing you prosperity!!) [pronounced in Mandarin: Gong She Fah Tsai]

The whole country of China shuts down for 7-10 days during this, the biggest of Chinese holidays. People who work in the cities travel home to be with family.

If our daughter was born in 2006 she was born in the year of the dog!

Dog ( 1910 - 1922 - 1934 - 1946 - 1958 - 1970 - 1982 )
The Dog will never let you down. Born under this sign you are honest, and faithful to those you love. You are plagued by constant worry, a sharp tongue, and a tendency to be a fault finder, however. You would make an excellent businessman, activist, teacher, or secret agent. Some Dogs: Cher, Winston Churchill, Bill Clinton, Dorothea Dix, Benjamin Franklin, George Gershwin, Jane Goodall, Herbert Hoover, Shirley McLaine, Golda Meir, Lucy Maud Montgomery, Socrates.

If she is born in 2007 she will be born in the year of the Golden Boar!

Boar ( 1911 - 1923 - 1935 - 1947 - 1959 - 1971 - 1983 )
You are a splendid companion, an intellectual with a very strong need to set difficult goals and carry them out. You are sincere, tolerant, and honest but by expecting the same from others, you are incredibly naive. Your quest for material goods could be your downfall. The Boar would be best in the arts as an entertainer, or possibly a lawyer. Some Boars: Lucille Ball, Ernest Hemingway, Mahalia Jackson, Albert Schweitzer, Elizabeth Cady Stanton.
