Happy Year of the Rooster

by

Gong Xi Fa Cai to everyone!

The YEAR OF THE ROOSTER is going to be wonderful for all! Well I hope so. Don’t you.

What do you do to celebrate Chinese New Year?  I like to celebrate with dumplings either home made or purchased. Maybe if we are lucky we go out to a lovely restaurant for some yummy Chinese food. Whatever you decide to do I hope you have a lovely celebration.

 

Gong Xi Fa Cai to you all! I hope that the year of the Rooster is good for you, it is meant to be an excellent year for me, and I'm keen to get working on some huge plans soon. Happy Chinese New Year!

Our family loves to celebrate Chinese New Year. I’m an ox, hubby is a monkey, the twins are rats and little Alexander is a sheep/goat.   I’m meant to have an excellent year in the year of the rooster and I hope that this is true.

Do you like to look at the Chinese horoscopes? I do. If you are like me and want to figure out what is going to happen this year check out the links below:

Try your hand at making your own dumplings. I made some the other year and they were so yummy. I’m going to do some more this year with a difference and will post when complete. Check out my detailed post about what I did to create a Chinese feast to celebrate Chinese New Year. Note this is from a previous year so forget the mentions of the old signs.
