Gosh, hope my spelling is right on the title. (that's how they spelled it in yesterday's newspaper...) Anyway, Happy Chinese New Year!! The girls had a surprise waiting for them when they came downstairs for breakfast. James had left them their 'Lay-cee" ( as their Cantonese MaMa calls it) and a beautiful orange. Basically, it's the much anticipated and desired 'little red envelope' given to children on special occasions. They are also used for wedding gifts or any other event where you want to spread a little good luck. The orange symbolizes 'a sweet life'.
We will be having a New Years party this Saturday. Our neighbors and friends have been invited to share in a traditional Chinese meal. Should be a lot of fun. In the meantime, I will enjoy today, this first day of the New Year by not cleaning... To clean on New Year's Day would be to wipe away all the good fortune the New Year brings. Bring on the bon-bons !!!!
Our best wishes to all of you for a happy, healthy and fortunate New Year!!!
