Chinese New Year 2011- Year of the Rabbit

Gong Hay Fat Choy!

Just returned from the Lion Dance parade at Philadelphia's Chinatown and got some great picture of the lion dance and video that I will upload at a later time.

Although the Chinese started to celebrate the Western New Year in 1912, the Traditional Chinese New year is still an integral part of the Chinese socio-economic culture. Chinese New Year is now celebrated throughout the world.

Year of the Rabbit:
1915, 1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011

People born in the Year of the Rabbit are articulate, talented, and ambitious. They are virtuous, reserved, and have excellent taste. Rabbit people are admired, trusted, and are often financially lucky. They are fond of gossip but are tactful and generally kind. Rabbit people seldom lose their temper. They are clever at business and being conscientious, never back out of a contract. They would make good gamblers for they have the uncanny gift of choosing the right thing. However, they seldom gamble, as they are conservative and wise. They are most compatible with those born in the years of the Sheep, Pig, and Dog.
