Chinese New Year (aka Lunar New Year) is a big deal in our house. It's a holiday just like any other major holiday we celebrate - Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's Eve, etc. There's only one little difference:
It's 15 days long.
Dude, that's almost TWICE as long as Chanukkah.
In addition to the CNY party we usually throw at some point during the festivities, there are different activities to partake in almost every day. Apparently this year, we didn't think that was enough. This year, the plan is for:
A CNYE (traditionally a family time) potluck with some of Brett's family
A trip to Vancouver BC for lion dances, shopping, and possibly other CNY activities
A CNY potluck with Brett's team from work
A CNY potluck with a few of our friends (TBA)
And POSSIBLY a CNY dinner with a few of my siblings (TBA). But I'm feeling pretty overwhelmed, so we'll see.
Guar. I was going to post about other crap too, but seeing all those events written out is kind of overwhelming. So I'm going to watch "Things Pets Swallow" on Animal Planet instead. *Gulp!*
