Today, January 26, 2009, is the first day of the Chinese Lunar Calendar. So Happy New Year to all my Chinese friends. I miss so many of you and think of you often. Spring Festival lasts 15 days and ends at the Lantern Festival. I took pictures of last years lantern festival and they are somewhere in my blog photos. The lanterns are so colorful and could definitely compete with some of our “over the top” Christmas decorations.
