Happy Year of the Ox!
Today we're thinking about all our friends on the east side. January 26 is Chinese New Year on the lunar calendar! Happy New Year! This current lunar year is the Year of the Ox, or Bull, however you want to say it. It's difficult to convey what an important holiday this is to the Chinese world. It's HUGE: the biggest, grandest holiday of the year for them, celebrated with family, food, fireworks, and gifts of red envelopes of money. Makes me crave authentic Chinese food!

My kids got a few red envelopes from friends. This may be their new fav holiday.
