For the Year 2007, the Year of the Boar (Pig), February 18, is the auspicious Chinese New Year. Chinese New Year starts on the first day of the new year with a new moon, concluding on the Lantern Festival fourteen days later. The Chinese New Year is as important to the Chinese as Christmas is for many Americans.
Here are some fun tributes old and new to the Chinese New Year:
- Chinese Cultural and Educational Products.
- Traditions and Taboos on Bringing in the New...
- New New Year Celebrations
- Send a Feng Shui Greeting or Plaxo has a nice selection of Chinese New Years Cards.
- Commemorative Gold Chinese New Year USB Memory cards are retailing for $510 each
- It is a time for family feasts, start anew, buy new clothing, and exchange red envelopes stuffed with money.
- Feng Shui Masters warn that the year of the pig is fraught with conflict, yet children born in the year of the pig are gifted with help from others
- Arnold Schwarzenegger, Woody Allen, Elton John, and Ronald Reagan are a few.
- That does not necessarily help Hillary Clinton, also born in the year of the pig, because the pig finished last in the race to establish the animal's zodiac order.
- Do not despair however, there are still things you can do to live an auspicious 2007. Check out the tips from my favorite author, Lilian Too.
