This year February 3rd, 2011 marks Chinese new year and the year of the Rabbit.
While fortune cookies are an american tradition we'll make an exception, since, they are so much fun and so dang cute!
A dear friend used to own our favorite chinese food restaurant locally. She imigrated from China to the USA as a young child. Every year she got our children so excited about Chinese New Year. My kids loved reading about the animal of the year, the characteristics, the hopes for the new year and of course getting money in those little red envelopes.
Are you planning a get together with friends to celebrate the new year? How do you celebrate? With dragons and firecrackers and little red envelopes? Were you born in a year of the Rabbit? Does Chinese New Years hold special meaning to you? Why?
BTW....our Large Fortune Cookies are finally back in stock!
Go shopping for fortune cookie jewelry and tokens now.
Beautiful!
