And more Chinese New Year Info


Chinese New Year is celebrated by Asian cultures worldwide. This year, 2011, is the Year of the Rabbit. If you were born in one of these years, 1915, 1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, you are born in the Year of the Rabbit.  People born in the year of the Rabbit are said to be ambitious, yet calm, gentle and loving.

Celebrations with families and food, beginning February 3, 2011, will continue for weeks to follow. Feasts with traditional foods signify the year to come: noodles signify long life, kumquats signify prosperity, mushrooms represent coins signifying riches and prosperity, Buddha's Hand citrus signify good luck and fortune along with individual family traditions as well.
