(汕尾高一期末)Chinese New Year, an international celebration, perhaps the most widely celebrated holiday in the world, typically takes place in January or February. Although the first few days are the most observed, Chinese New Year actually runs for 15 days and ends with the Lantern Festival. Preparations take place for weeks in advance to ensure that this period is filled with luck and prosperity(繁荣).
With people around the globe observing Chinese New Year, you're sure to find fireworks, parades, and street fairs in nearly every major city. This is also a time for family reunions and lots of food. People will be feasting and spending time together to celebrate the most important Chinese festival. Firecrackers are thrown in abundance(大量)to frighten away unlucky spirits. Red is worn, and children receive money in red envelopes because of its symbolic meaning, seen as a lucky color that represents success and good fortune.
With vibrant(充满活力的)celebrations taking place from Sydney to San Francisco, you'll have plenty of opportunities to pay your respect and good wishes to the Chinese, especially if you know the customary greetings. Whether you'll be spending it in China or in a Chinatown in your own city, knowing how to wish people a happy new year in the local tongue is a nice touch. With such diversity in Chinese culture and ethnic groups around the world, there are many ways to say “happy new year” in Chinese, among which “gong xi fa cai” and “xin nian kuai le” are the most popular phrases.
Gong xi fa cai: Pronounced “gong zee fah tsai”, gong xi means “congratulations” and is also a way to wish one joy. Fa cai is to become rich or make money, so you are wishing one joy and prosperity in the new year. Business owners and workmates use gong xi fa cai as the usual way to say “happy new year” in Chinese.
Xin nian kuai le: Pronounced “sheen neean kwai luh”, xin nian means new year and kuai le means “happy” or “joyous”. Xin nian kuai le is a great way to say happy new year in Chinese to friends without referencing money.

(济南高一期末)You may have celebrated the new year on January 1st, but the next day cats get to celebrate the new year.Well, actually, cats don't celebrate the new year, they celebrate the mew year.
Any cat owner will tell you that cats consider themselves to be far, far better than us.They most certainly feel they deserve all that life has to offer, so why not have a Happy Mew Year Day For Cats Day just for them? Like the human version of New Year's Day, it is on this special day that our feline (猫科的) companions can paw and consider the “mewness” of the brand new season and all of the possibilities it holds.Perhaps this will be the year their people start feeding them tinned food instead of dry? Will the useless dog realize that the cat is king in this house? All these questions and more can be considered by our kitties today while they go about their normal business, looking distant and disinterested.
The truth is that many animal related holidays can also help raise awareness about the millions of unwanted, unloved and abused pets that end up in animal shelters and are eventually put to sleep for lack of funds to keep them alive.So if you haven't got your own perfect feline ruler yet, it's time to take action on January 2.As you're welcoming in the New Year into your life, won't you consider opening your heart and your home to a new four legged friend as well?
Cats can serve many purposes around the home—they are natural, greedy hunters;they're the perfect mix of both fun and silly.Nothing beats the thankfulness of a cat, for sure! You may have all sorts of New Year's resolutions that may or may not work out, but adopting a cat is something you will never regret, and the cat will never forget.

The traditional designs include Christmas scenes or designs related to Oaxaca. Free designs can be anything, but sometimes include famous people and animals.
