CHINESE NEW YEAR~

The Chinese New Year starts today. 2008 is the Year of the Rat.

What is your chinese zodiac sign? I was born in 1989 which was the year of the snake. :jess:

and if you're Chinese, Happy New Year! :)

I was born in 1988, which I think was the year of the dragon :cool:

I'm an Ox.

I was born in 1989, but before Chinese New Year, and that makes me a dragon. :cool:

Now I'm going to celebrate Chinese New Year by listening to Enjoy Your Rabbit.

Tiger, the only worthwhile animal in the bunch.

Horse. :) Neigh~

I was born in '92, the year of the monkey~

Like most people my age, I'm a Dragon! Go people from 88!

'86, Tiger.

Rooster.

Sheep ftw!

If you're lucky enough to be born that year, you should at least call Year of the Cock :D

Tiger, rawr!

My family celebrates the New Year (Korean customs, not Chinese ones) on January 1st, even though a lot of people in the Korean community wait around for the Lunar New Year to start.

People get dressed up in traditional Korean outfits, eat the traditional rice cake soup, do the blessings, get gift money, and then we all sit around and play the traditional New Years games. New Years is probably the biggest Holiday for my family. It trumps Christmas and Thanksgiving and any birthdays. It's the one time everyone in the family gets together. Plus, it's when I get fistfuls of cash. I love it. :p
