Firstly let me apologize for my lapse in blogging, since we returned from our fabulous luxury family adventure in Laos and Thailand I've been swamped...and the time goes by and here we are now in February.
February is an important month, it is the month of the Chinese New Year. We have a special affinity for the holiday in our house as we adopted our seven year old daughter Zennia from China when she was an infant. So I thought to interview Zen about her thoughts on Chinese New Year:
Dad: Zen, what can you tell me about Chinese New Year?
Zen: Well Dad, the Chinese New Year begins February 7, 2008. It is the most important Chinese holiday.
Dad: Are there celebrations?
Zen: Yes, there are awesome celebrations. At Chinese New Year celebrations people wear red clothes and kids get "lucky money" in red envelopes. This is one of my favorite parts!
Dad: How long do the celebrations last?
Zen: Celebrations last for about 15 days. At the end there's a lantern festival. The lights are so pretty. The best part of the lantern festival is the dragon dance. The dragon is super long and there's a lot of music and everyone dances in the streets. It's way cool. It's a real big party and it's a lot of fun!
Dad: Well thanks for the interview, Happy Chinese New Year Zen!
Zen: And Happy Chinese New Year to you Dad!
