It’s Chinese New Year’s today. Yet another of my favorite holidays.
Today begins the year 4703, the year of the Rooster.
Typically you will see displays of oranges which symbolize wealth, tangerines to bring forth luck and plum blossoms which symbolize courage and hope.
Children and young adults receive lucky money in red envelopes. I’m still a young adult
And we have a big feast with our families. Each of the foods eaten during this traditional dinner has a special meaning to help set the tone for the coming year.
So, be good today as well as eat a healthy well balanced dinner. All to ensure a healthy, harmonious and properous year to come!
Happy New Year All!
