Imagine: Year Of The Rabbit

Happy Chinese New Year everyone! This is one of my favorite time of the year. It brings family gathering and not to mention, red envelopes for kids! On the morning of Chinese New Year, we eat all kinds of vegetables like snow peas, cauliflowers, and other things that I don't even know what they are. There is one thing we are forbidden to eat: meat, although I don't know why. I also know we aren't allow to wash our hair for the fear that we will be "washing" our fortunes away. I heard that only applies to females though. During the first two weeks of Lunar Year, we can't buy new shoes either. Still, I don't know why. Yeah, I've tried asking, but I never get what they're saying. I just have to listen and do what my parents and grandparents want me to do to. Chinese people often greet each other with "Gong hay fat choi, Sun tai gin hon," meaning Happy Chinese New Year and wishing you good health. Ever since I moved to Pennsylvanian from New York, I got less red envelopes since most of my relatives live there :( At this time, I wish I'm at Hong Kong or somewhere like London. I never knew they had a Chinatown over at London. That's pretty awesome. I sure hope this will be a good year for us all.Gong Hay Fat Choi, Sun Tai gin hon everyone :)
