Chinese New Year

I currently am the Youth Director at a Chinese Church here in Oregon. And today is Chinese New Year. So welcome to the year of the Snake and happy New Year!!!

Here is a bit of a definition: the Chinese festival marking the start of the new year, beginning on the second new moon after the winter solstice and ending on the full moon fifteen days later. It is marked by visits to family and friends, special meals, fireworks, and gift giving. Also called Spring Festival.


  Note: not my picture...pilfered it off the Internets.
