Gung Hay Fat Choy!
The Lunar New Year dates from 2600 BC, when the Emperor Huang Ti introduced the first cycle of the Chinese zodiac.
Because of cyclical lunar dating, the first day of the year can fall anywhere between late January and the middle of February. On the Chinese calendar, 2008 is Lunar Year 4705-4706.
On the Western calendar, the start of the New Year falls on February 7, 2008 — The Year of the Rat. If you were born in 1912, 1924, 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996 - you were born under the sign of the rat.
*This is the FIRST year since we moved to Columbus 10 years ago that we have not went to the Chinese New Year Party or had one..Hank said this weekend "we will have to go out to Dinner on Wednesday to celebrate it"..Tyler says "can we go to China Garden" I said "no it is to far on a school night"..Nicholas DEAD serious says" Chili's sounds good" Can I tell you how hard we laughed as that was NOT what Hank had in mine for dinner.
**I am a RAT:)
