This weekend is full to the brim with Chinese New Year prep and merriment. It's a tradition to take a drive to Chinatown during this festive season. As anticipated, the trip to Chinatown was full of good times ~ with hours of wandering around selecting Chinese New Year cookies, lanterns and a few goodies for the little apartment. My sister and i even managed to soak up some sunshine and some exercise.
I'm looking forward to wonderful lazy days, naps, a goodly amount of tasty food and drink is also definitely on the list. It's a good opportunity for me to THANK YOU for reading, for commenting, for emailing me just to say hello, and most of all, for reminding me that so much good exists in the world. May you and yours have a wonderful Dragon 2012!
Happy holidays to you and the ones you love.
Love to you and yours.
Dearest Jacqueline! Wonderful photos! I hope you had a great time preparing for the Chinese New Year! All the best to you in the Dragon year and cheers to friendship! :)
