Gung Hay Fat Choy!
Or as the Manchus say, "Gung Xi Fa Cai!"
Or Happy New Year of the Rooster! "Cock," if you prefer, but that's just a blatant ploy to get myself into some interesting search terms.
Either way, wishing you all a great year and, for the Chinese folks, lots of red envelopes.
Now, if I can just figure out where to go see some lions...

So I also heard that this is being referred to as "Year of the Widow" because the Chinese calendar this year lacks the day associated with the start of spring/fertility.
For the uninitiated, how the heck can a day be missing from a calendar one year and not another?
Just curious...

Honestly? I think it was a clerical error.
Actually, I have no idea.

Is it really the year of the cock? That's me! I mean...you know what I mean.
...so does that mean I get free Chinese food this year, or what? Because I could totally go for some dim sum right now.
