Happy Chinese New Year!
0 comments » This is a head’s up that I am going to be changing things up a bit here this week! I wanted to celebrate the Chinese New Year with you all, but I am running a little behind, so I will be starting to post recipes tomorrow. And as always, thanks for stopping by anniebakes…
The Chinese New Year for 2012 is centered around the Lunar calendar and starts January 23, lasting 2 weeks. It is considered one of the most important of Chinese holidays and is celebrated by having huge parties focused on bringing good luck for the new year and the coming spring (planting season). In China, the celebration can last up to a month. 2012 is the Year of the Dragon.

“2012-the Year of the Dragon has the potential to breathe life-shaping fire, to be magical, even mythical!”
