Chinese New Year- The year of the Monkey!

Chinese New Year 2016- The year of the Monkey!

 

Chinese New Year – The year of the Monkey!

 

                In 2016, Chinese New Year (also known as Spring Festival) starts on February 8th. In the Chinese Lunar Calendar, this is the year of the monkey.  The celebration usually begins early and extends past the actual New Year. This year people will begin celebrating January 31st and go all the way through February 22nd! Many workers in China will take off 2-3 weeks so they have time to travel home and celebrate with family.

                Chinese New Year is a winter holiday, since it was made to happen during a quiet time and before farm work would begin. In the past, the celebration of Chinese New Year focused on wishes for a good and prosperous harvest. Today, the Spring Festival is touted as a beginning to a prosperous year in business as well.

Hi!
Welcome to our little world!
My name is Lily, I am a Mommy to 6 kids; and wife to a US Navy Sailor of 15 years. We are a typical Family trying to live the American dream, and though my son’s Autism and my Husband’s PTSD and TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) sometimes try to dampen our mood; we try our hardest to push through it and keep on movin’!

I absolutely LOVE blogging, sharing our life, and our adventures; whether good or not so good.

Our Family went through what WE hope is the worst week ever a year and a half ago, and tragedies continued to hit our Family for a while.
In 4 days, our car was totaled, our house broken into, and our house caught on fire. We are literally having to start over from scratch.
