Several years ago we visited the Chinese Pavilion at Epcot during Chinese New Year and it was wonderful. If you are lucky enough to be in Disneyworld during the next few days be sure to stop by. We were given red envelopes with "lucky" coins in them. My boys still have them.

Monkeys are always alert and can feel surroundings even as they are thoroughly engaged in conversation. Monkeys are sociable and have an active outside life. Monkeys sympathize with people and they in turn trust you with their secrets. Monkeys can forgive, but never forget and can be revengeful if somebody wrongs them several times. They wait their turn for the perfect opportunity and nothing can stop them from achieving a goal. They have a lively love life. Monkeys are good at making people comfortable and even the most shy individuals open up to them. Having a very attractive openness, and as a partner they are reliable, adaptable and cheerful. Inherently brainy, monkeys very rarely fail in their mission. They are good at assessing risk and financial problems. Monkeys are intellectual and their memory is incredible. They don't care what opinions others may have of them. They know they are lucky, and they also know they have the power to change things when convenience calls. Monkeys are virtually unsinkable! If people try to trick monkeys, they will probably catch them. They never make a move without a plan. They are great strategists. They can spot an opportunity in any form. They never miss a trick! They improve and try to do things better, and often amaze even themselves. They are the ultimate diplomats and slip in and out of difficulties with ease. Monkeys are always out in front! Dragons and rats will match up with the monkey. Famous people like Will Smith, Julius Caesar, Lord Byron, Elizabeth Taylor , de Vinci, Harry S. Truman, and Jennifer Anniston are signed under the monkey.

HAPPY NEW YEAR from another born under this sign

Okay, so I'm not Chinese nor do I believe in astrology but I'll take all the good comparisons I can!

The best part of Chinese New Year is getting red envelope money. Some years I make tens of dollars! I wish I was visiting NYC during Chinese New Year. I have a lot of relatives up there and I can make a lot of money! I like visiting the rich relatives the best during Chinese New Year.

The worst part? Seeing a chicken foot (toes and nails all) on the dinner table. Ewww...it looks like an old lady's hand!

Is that anything like your cans of pork brains you give as gifts, Barry?

I work at a Chinese Restaurant and they were celebrating it all day yesterday! Each year, my boss, Chee, gives us all a bonus on Chinese New Year! I think that is pretty neat!

Happy New Year everyone.

Hey Barry,
Where is my red envelope?

 

[CEDmom]

DD was born in China so we always have a little celebration. This year I sent red envelopes into pre-school with chocolate coins which was a big hit. DD and I also made a Chinese dinner on Thursday which we along with DH thoroughly enjoyed. We won't be going to any parades unfortunately because it's just too cold to be standing outside.

Happy New Everyone!! BTW, the New Year lasts for about 2 weeks so there's still time to celebrate.
