Some days though, I wish my postcards were spread out so they could each be the best one I received that day. This card from Ruby in Hong Kong is no exception. It is great! It explains the Chinese New Year Festival in such a sweet and concise way. I know I learned something from this. (If it is too hard to read - leave me a comment and I will type out the text.) Also, it seems as if all my cards today got some real travel lines on them - this one with the cancellation on the front is no exception. And I almost forgot - the stamp - I do love my bird stamps!
That's a mean looking bird!
ReplyDeleteI think he is serious not mean :)
DeleteCould you type out the text :)It is too small for me to read.
ReplyDeleteSure can -forgive any typos - no spell check here :)
DeleteChinese New Year ? often called Chinese Lunar New Year although it actually is lunisolar is the most important of the traditional Chinese holidays. Chinese New Year's Eve, a day where Chinese families gather for their annual reunion dinner, is known as Ch u Xi (chinese characters that I can't type) or "Eve of the Passing Year". Early the next morning, children will greet their parents by wishing them a healthy and happy new year, and receive money in red paper envelopes. The Chinese New Year tradition is to reconcile, forget all grudges and sincerely wish peace and happiness for everyone.
