牛年大吉

Spring Festival was my favorite holiday when I was a kid. My mom would make a new clothes for me and my brother. We would have an abundant dinner at the new year eve. New clothes and a big feast dinner was not easily come by then. It made that time of year so looked forward as a kid. Played with fire crack with friends and stayed over midnight to embrace the very moment of new year coming.

After many years aboard, this Spring Festival is becoming more and more like symbol. We might never know where life brings us to but we always know where we come from. It makes me feel grateful and lucky as a Chinese as well as an American.

We will go with our friends Laiyiee and Bob this afternoon to the New Year's party of Ohio University Chinese Student and faculty association. It was wonderful last year and the party was so packed with Chinese students and professors as well as all wonderful Athenians from our community.

As the title says, Good Luck Bull Year! It is so coincident that our Chinese have Bull year but not Bear year. I wish that all our families, friends and everyone have a better and happier year to come.
