Year of the Rat

Happy Chinese New Year!

2008 is the "Year of the Rat." For more fun information about the "Year of the Rat," click here.

We're not having as big of a shindig as we did last year. Not to mention the fact that you are supposed to have a feast on the eve of the New Year. Kind of hard for us to feast on Ash Wednesday. Today we're going to have lunch at a nearby Chinese restaurant. Then tonight, the church youth group meets at our house, so we'll probably have them help us celebrate in some way.

Happy Chinese New Year!

Gong he xin xi! (pronounced gong her shin shee) Today is the first day of the Chinese New Year, and this year is the Year of the Pig. We had our own little celebration with family and friends yesterday at the house. We'll post some pictures when we get a chance. In the meantime, click here to read more about this festival.
