See my beautiful chinese coat! It is actually a 30+ year-old antique and was first worn by Auntie May when she was a baby….

For those of you who observe the Chinese calendar, I wish you a happy new year and a year that will be filled with God’s abundance grace and peace.

And to those of you (Chinese or not) who think we are very materialistic and only cares about prosperity and wealth (by saying "Kung Hei Fat Choi" or "Gong Xi Fa Cai" — same words, different dialects) when greeting one another, please remind yourself the fact that you only know 1 Chinese new year greeting phrase does not necessary mean that only this 1 phrase exists for greeting purposes.

I, for one, seldom use that phrase when greeting my friends and relatives. 

By the way, this is the year of the Dog.
