Gung Hay Fat Choy!
Best wishes and Congratulations - Have a prosperous and good year.
I am particularly amused with this year, The Chinese New Year of the Rabbit - the Metal Rabbit, to be exact. The last year of the METAL RABBIT was the year I was born in 1951 - little did I know then that I would someday be living in Oaxaca, Mexico asking for red rabbits of the vendors who wave their painted wooden bookmarks and toothpicks at me. A few years back I decided to ask for red rabbits, which at that time seemed to be quite rare. If they had any I would buy them and if they did not then I was off the purchasing hook for the time being. Last year it seemed there were many many more red rabbits for sale. I figured news traveled fast up and down the Andador and all around the Zocalo - "pssst - red rabbits are HOT!". I read this in my astrology today report for the upcoming year:
"Let there be peace, and let it begin with me, is the Rabbit motto." I like the sound of that!
