Chinese New Year - Year of the Pig (or Boar)

GONG XI FA CAI

This weekend marks the turn of the lunar calendar. On February 18th, 2007, the calendar officially changes over from the year of the dog to the year of the pig. Chinese New Year is a time of celebration with family and loved-ones. For our family, this marks the first one we will celebration all together.

We have a couple of celebrations planned for the weekend, including a get together with our travel group (don't worry pictures of all the beautiful girls in their dresses will be forthcoming). We have a little red (colour of celebration) and plan on seeing friends and loved-ones (the pivotal part of the new year celebrations). We may not get around to the deep cleaning (cleanse away bad spirits), but we've got lots of feasting on the agenda and will toast the passing of a year of amazing good fortune and happiness, while welcoming one overflowing with new adventures, challenges and happiness.

Kiyomi, Kohji and I hope the year of the pig brings you health, happiness, prosperity... and lots of laughter.
